"Brain injuries of any type always change some of the essential personality of the person."

This is something I understand very well, depending on the depth of the injury, core traits and values can remain... but it can take years before the brain is really stable and behavior becomes fixed.


"But my heart goes out to anyone suffering with a brain injury. Often times they have to relearn everything, like they were brand new babies. It is very challenging. Yep, they definitely change from the people they once were. Personality wise, they will never be as they once were. And some of the most oddest changes can be found."


Again it varies with the depth of the injury, I have discribed it as being like waking up from a coma and having to rebuild my life.


"they will never be what they were once, and yet are any of us?..."

That is a very kind and thoughtful statment, Finding friends who can understand and accept the changes is a challenge. I have wondered how much, is because of the constant reminder that we are all vulnerable.

"Life is about change, accepting change and learning to adapt to those changes. Freedom is never free,"

Very true, life is about learning and growning... making new friends along the path we wake up and find ourselves on...

"Humans are amazing creatures, no?"

very much so!
