Below are various links to books, movies and organizations that helped us to understand and process Kerri’s tragic accident.
The Diving Bell and the Butterfly is an incredibly beautiful and poignant movie that most accurately portrays what Kerri may have felt like, locked inside her body and mind. It also comes in printed form if you’re more of a reader.
Another powerful book about families adjusting and best meeting the needs of loved ones who have suffered a brain injury.
