to find something she can do or feel interested in,she is home through the day alone and so sick of TV, she expresses herself well without talking...but I have no idea what to get to help her feel normal again, she has gained a lot of weight also, and it breaks my heart for her. If anyone has any ideas please express them!

My Mom suffered a stroke at a young age. There is not much that you can do to make people who have severe strokes feel "normal" again. You can help her adjust to the situation, but I don't know if giving her anything is the answer. She needs to get involved with a support group or volunteer. If she likes animals she may want to spend time at a rescue shelter, or see if there is a community that she can become a part of, like a church group or some other area that is interesting to her. Get her out and about and trying things. Have her keep going to speech and physical therapy. Make sure she is not cut off from society. Good luck and god bless -

There are lots of things she can do. First have her get involved, just b/c she had a stroke doesn't mean it the end of her life. She can volunteer at a hospital and she can help other people that have suffered a stroke and become a mentor by showing that there is more life to live.

I appreciate that you want to do something for her, that is a good thing. But first of all, she should not be alone all day long, try to find her someone to stay with her at least 2 to 3 hours a day. To make sure she eats and in case something happens to her. If it is not you maybe someone in your family can do it. take turns. Or every chip in money so that she can have someone there.
God bless you both.

communicate on your brother. factor out that your discern's are no longer as youthful as they was once, and that it's not honest to place them in that place. propose that if she will't handle her babies on her very own at the same time as he's away, that they hire a nanny to help for those weeks. it will determine that the youngsters are precise cared for, and that your SIL would have time to 'breath'. i do no longer think of you're selfish. in spite of the shown fact that, this is genuine that relatives could stick mutually. communicate on your brother. There may be something occurring in that abode which you do no longer understand approximately. which would be why your bro calls and begs on your help.

My father had a stroke and enjoyed playing on the computer....he was able to communicate. Also, get her into physical therapy so that she can continue to maintain strength.

I have seen and read articles that video games can help stroke patients. It helps with coordination and can be entertaining.
