Can you beat depression and learn to thrive after a stroke? Yes. Keith Taylor knows how hard it is to go from co-owning a successful business to being asked to leave after his stroke affected him cognitively. He just couldn’t function in his role as a leader. Babette Taylor quit her job and stayed home to babysit Keith for 2-3 months. That was tough for Keith to deal with, and he thought about ending his life. Instead of taking that drastic measure, Keith began looking at how he could help other people like him survive and thrive. His website, Strength after Stroke, has the B.A.S.E. program.

Keith Taylor is a warrior in Just Say “Yes” to Life, a book put out by Stroke Awareness Oregon. Written to give solace to current stroke survivors, the 26 stories in Just Say “Yes” to Life! Detail how these survivors coped, and which therapies helped them most. Readers will be inspired by a teenager who rebounded well enough to enroll in college a few years after his stroke, a physician who reinvented herself as a writer and performer, and a forester who created a chair the world’s never seen before, one that allows those who use wheelchairs to navigate rugged wilderness terrain.

Authentic, vulnerable, and brave, the tales give stroke survivors, and those who love them, hope for the best possible recovery and encourage them to never give up!
