They Told You How to Move Their Body —
Not How to Hold Up Your Life.
You were handed a folder, a follow-up date, and a list of things to watch for.
But no one warned you about the layers of loss.
The communication breakdowns.
The identity shifts—in them and you.
No one gave you a way to name what was happening in your own life.
This isn’t just about their rehab, it’s about your survival.
The Care Partner Strengths Wheel™ is a 3-minute reflection tool to help you see what’s working, what’s missing, and where to start.
You Weren’t Just Unprepared —
You Were Unwarned.
Rehab taught you how to help them walk.
Maybe how to support a few words.
But no one prepared you for what happens next.
👉 The fights over nothing
👉 The silence at dinner
👉 The ache of feeling invisible beside the person you love
They told you, “Join a support group.”
But support groups don’t walk you through the mental load, the grief, or the disconnection that sneaks into every part of your life.
They didn’t warn you that you’d feel like the stranger in the relationship you’re still trying to save.
This isn’t just hard. It’s layered. And without a way to name it — you’re stuck blaming yourself.
Yes, the stroke happened to them.
But you’re the one trying to put the pieces back together — and
they don’t fit like they used to.
But you’re the one trying to put the pieces back together — and
they don’t fit like they used to.
What the Wheel Shows You
This isn’t a personality quiz, it’s a diagnostic mirror.
The Care Partner Strengths Wheel helps you see the parts of your life no one else has asked about:
- The mental load you carry
- How your communication and connection are holding up
- Where your energy is leaking, and what to do first
It’s simple, but it’s strategic.
Most caregivers never get this kind of clarity. You will.
So What Happens Next?
You’ll complete the Wheel in under 5 minutes. From there, one of three things usually happens:
1.
You finally name what’s been weighing you down.
2.
You realize you're not failing, you just didn’t have the full picture.
3.
You get your first clear
step forward.
Want personal feedback on your Wheel? You can send it in for review.
Want deeper support? The LIFE Aphasia Collective gives you the full roadmap.
This isn’t just an exercise. It’s the beginning of real change.
