This Too Shall Eventually Pass
Too Shall Eventually Pass – A Journey Into The TBI Mind is not a story or autobiography. It is a journey. A trek into the mind of a young TBI person. TBI, or traumatic brain injury, is an injury to the brain caused by an external force. If you speak about cardiovascular disease, cancer, or other diseases with people, most of them have a good idea of what you are talking about. TBI is a completely different story. Its effects on the brain and the ideas behind them are so vast and unknown that you can call every TBI patient a different case. The minds of these people are in different territories. If somebody in the middle of this uncharted territory starts to write his way of thinking, it is a real shining in the darkness, not a story or autobiography.
Sorena wrote this book in many different situations and with many conflicting emotions. In writing this book, he was so weak that he could not use a keyboard to type, so he used text-to-speech applications. Many parts of the book have been written with “tornado-like” emotions. I hope this book can help family and friends of TBI patients, doctors, psychologists, and therapists working patiently with these patients have a little better understanding of what goes with the emotions of a TBI person. I hope it is helpful to other TBI patients as well.
By reading this book, you will drown yourself in an ocean, an ocean full of hope and despair, an ocean full of happiness and sadness, and an ocean of problems that you cannot ever think about in normal life. Problems include losing memory and location, and even time and space. Sorena wants to take your hand and go into another dimension of thinking—a real trek to unknown places.
This book reminds me of a philosophical novel written by Albert Camus named “The Fall.” It gives you a sense of bewilderment and amazement. You will sense the same by reading this book. However, this time it is real and comes from a brain full of energy and youth entangled in a cage. By reading this book, you will go on a real mind trip with a TBI guy. Sorena shares his life story with you.
