In 2002, while on a training run in Houston, Texas, with her husband, Raul, in preparation for the Marine Corps Marathon, author Kristin Abello was struck by a car. As a result, she sustained a traumatic brain injury and other physical traumas. The initial consensus was that she wasn’t going to survive. In Sunrise, she tells her story of faith, love, hope and healing from TBI. While a love story, it is also the true story of her fight for survival. She and Raul were a young couple in love when the catastrophic car accident nearly pulled them apart. Abello tells how the support and prayers of her husband, family, and friends formed the basis of her miraculous recovery.

Note from the author:

The Brain Injury Association of America records at least 2.8 million Americans suffer a traumatic brain injury (TBI) in the United States each year.

After suffering my own catastrophic experience, from which I was never supposed to recover, my personal love and duty to support the TBI community, with each Sunrise and Sunset. Both the Sunrise book and TBI journal are available to You to improve your wellbeing.

In the heartfelt and gripping story of Sunrise: Life after Traumatic Brain Injury complements the TBI Journal recovery who's lives or has been affected by a TBI. It offers caregivers, patients and loved ones, to know there is hope for rehabilitation. I created the accompanying Sunrise TBI Journal as a complement to Sunrise Book. Tracking progress is on the forefront of recovery for the TBI Community and provides a safe brain space for patients and caregivers to document their recovery.

The Sunrise TBI Journal encourages survivors to engage in daily journaling and thoughtful reflection for progress and setbacks. Serving as a canvas to craft their own TBI stories.
