Welcome to the BrainSong Community

You are not alone, you have come to the right place for support, information and understanding. BrainSong is a traumatic brain injury (TBI) online community for female survivors. If you are new to the site, please join. It's FREE.

Having a traumatic brain injury is a club you didn't ask to join. But it happens and, in one incident, the earth beneath your feet shifts.

When you join BrainSong (it's FREE!), you are instantly linked to a network of fellow survivors, family members, caregivers, medical pros and others who, in essence, become your "support" via our website. 24/7, we are here for each other.

Ask questions, share experiences, dig for information, give a resource, help each other through rough spots.

Join me at the BrainSong community, and together we'll build a life with new lyrics.

Why Music?

There are times in everyone's life when they face crisis, fear, self doubt and drama. They look at the world and see only the negative, the evil, the sadness. We have all been there. I have been there.

Those are the days I turn to music to help get me through. I turn to music to uplift me and help me make sense of life. I'm sure everyone has their coping mechanism. Some call a friend. Others cry, others smoke or drink their way through it. I listen to music. To me, music is like the air I breathe.

So, days when I'm struggling, one of the ways I cope is to listen to music. It may sound crazy but, it's a way that ALWAYS makes me feel better. Sometimes it's country, rock, rap, contemporary Christian or sometimes it's songs that question. Doesn't matter. When I look out to the world and things don't make sense. Every single word was like it was written from my own heart.

Today I breathe, smile ... & live

With love, Micah

Head Trauma

Every 15 seconds, someone in the US suffers a traumatic brain injury. Of the 1,000,000 people treated in hospital emergency rooms each year, 50,000 die and 80,000 become permanently disabled because of traumatic brain injury (TBI).

Brain injuries occur more frequently than breast cancer or AIDS. One out of every fifty Americans is currently living with disabilities from TBI.

An average of 561,000 females suffer traumatic brain injury each year.
