Companion Guide to the Docuseries
They Had A Stroke, Now What? is a companion book to the Rebuilding What Broke Us docuseries, written from the perspective of a daughter and caregiver walking through the aftermath of a stroke in real time. It gives families practical guidance, questions to ask, and space to process what is happening, so they are not piecing it together alone. In the future this book will anchor a full set of educational programs and licensing content for hospitals and care teams who want to better support stroke survivors and their families.
