How Can Cognitive Impairment Be Treated?

I have recently had 4 major strokes which left me with cognizant deficits. I am having an extremely difficult time trying to live with a brain that does not work as it used to. I was formerly extremely independent and now have to ask for help, what would you suggest? I also lost my entire family in a 2 year period, I used to take care of them daily, now I don t know who I am or why I was allowed to live. I can t deal with it?? what do you suggest? I am no longer able to work and cannot afford to pay for your answer, I apologize for having wasted your time. I don t have any money for you to refund. I appreciate your time,but if looking into my predicament will help you deal with patients suffering from similar difficulties, I will answer any questions you may have.
