"Will my son be able to finish high school?" "Will my husband be able to keep his job?" "How will we pay the mortgage now that my wife has lost her job?" "Why do I lose my temper at the drop of a hat now when I never did before?" Unpredictability and uncertainty after a TBI are scary, but life will get easier as problems are solved and families develop a new normal.
