One ordinary day changed Coretta Smith-Morgan's life forever.
After more than twenty years as a successful hairstylist, Coretta was independent, hardworking and confident in the life she had built. Then a sudden stroke left her fighting for survival. She spent thirty days in intensive care, underwent emergency brain surgery and continued her recovery through twenty-five demanding days of rehabilitation.
Still Here: A Journey of Life After Stroke with Coretta is her personal testimony of fear, faith, family and perseverance. Coretta writes honestly about the physical limitations that followed her stroke, the emotional pain hidden beneath recovery and the mental battle of learning to live with uncertainty.
During the hardest moments, prayer became her refuge. Her husband, daughters, mother and sister became her support system, carrying her when she no longer had the strength to carry herself. Their love reminded her that recovery is not only physical. It is also emotional, mental and spiritual.
This book is for stroke survivors, caregivers, families and anyone trying to find hope after a life-changing experience. Coretta's story offers encouragement to readers who feel exhausted, afraid or unsure about what comes next.
Healing may be slow. Progress may arrive one small step at a time. But survival is its own victory, and even after pain, there can still be gratitude, purpose and another chance at life.
Coretta's message is simple: your story is not over. Keep fighting. You are stronger than you think, and by the grace of God, you are still here.
