From the point of view of a carer, it is very difficult to understand how 1 day someone can do something, yet 24hrs later does not remember how to do it. It is difficult for people who have had no experience of brain injury to understand. Having said that...If someone really wants to even try to understand they will educate themselves on the effects of a brain injury.
