TBIAlive! meets every Thursday evening at a Starbucks located in Denver, Colorado. These weekly meets gives anyone within the group a chance to ask questions or concerns that they have and are looking for help or an input from another perspective.
At tonight's meet we welcomed a new member to the group. As unfortunate as he was to have experienced TBI like so many of us, he is not alone. We conversed over beverages inside the Starbucks, as became the custom. The subject of letting the past be the past and to keep moving forward was pretty much the topic of tonight. The whole night however wasn't completely serious and heavy. There were talks of sports and lighthearted themes.
A couple of the members were praising one member for the success he has made with his new life, in meeting new people. One member talked about how his family no longer resides in Denver but they still keep in touch. Multiple conversation tend to meld into one, once a subject comes up where everyone interjects, because they have an insightful piece of information to add.
There is always something to talk about at our Thursday evening meets and a sympathetic ear if one is needed. It is not our place to judge but share compassion. Whether it's sharing resources or just having someone to talk to, we are here for one another.
