Right after the stroke of a loved one can be a very emotional and frightening time. It seems that information can be difficult to come by.
I have found a great site on the web that is dedicated to just this issue. I wanted to post a few topics they have on their site, along with links to more resources.
Clicking on any of these links will take you to their website.
