Thank you Cristabelle Braden for Hope Survives. It will be my new song because " I AM A SURVIVOR" !! In August of 2023 I suffered a traumatic brain injury in a head on collision. Recovery is the hardest thing I've ever done AND I have run a marathon. I was in training for a 100 mile endurance run when the accident happened. So I know a little bit about hard. I am also a guitar player and having to relearn how to play. This will be hard as well as I also suffered a broken left arm and had severe burns on my right hand, nearly lost my right thumb. Like I said: it will be hard but I will learn this song!!
This is so my song I have10 brain injuries first was a head on wreak with a semi truck that fell asleep after working a double shift with no sleep or rest in between and fell asleep driving and from what I have read they had to get a tow truck from a long ways away but by time it got there and was able to lift the semi truck up so they could cut me and my fiance out but before hand one of the EMT crawled in found my fiance was dead and yelled for a c collar and started cpr mean while yelled for his pbutner for me because he could tell I wasn't breathing or was barely because like my fiance I was blue but he reached over and checked and I had a low pulse but I had one she crawled in and in1995 EMTS couldn't put Airways in like now they can now so was breathing for me by a mask hooked to oxygen and they squeeze a bag attached about the time they pulled the semi off us that they could cut out a way to remove us on backbords thinking we might have hurt our spines just as they got us out the life flight helicopter landed from Idaho at that time Wyoming didn't have medical helicopters so they got us loaded and headed to Idaho falls there base trauma center from what I have read they tried every thing and when I read the autopsy report it said that her spinal cord was severd in several places and the coroner said in his medical opinion she was killed instantly but like you they adding up I have recovered alot and I'm high functioning they say but as your song says you might look fine but your not Thanks I'm planning on playing it for the pastor of the brain injury program I'm in and since I picked out music for church on Sunday see if we can have the that as a special Dave Fales

Thank you for encouragement. I have listened to just first half so far. The noise sensitivity kicked up by too many layered vocals I look forward being able to listen to the whole song all the way through. appreciate you.
Thank you for such a beautiful song. This one will definitely be on repeat because I am struggling with my new normal really bad right now. It’s been almost 4 years since my TBI/ABI
Aww this means so much... thank you for your comment and kind words. I am honored to have been a part of your journey in any way. There is always hope!
This is so inspiring! This made me smile. The light of Christ is shining here and I pray the whole world would be filled songs of hope like this. Thank you Cristabelle! Let's keep pushing back the darkness. :)
Beautifully done, catchy melody, perfect singing, and lyrics I can definitely relate to. I have much appreciation for the recording process and how much energy it takes to do this and then there are those days when the brain, hands and voice are having a hard time coordinating. You are an inspiration.
Awesome! As a brain injury survivor and man of faith in Christ, it's so great to see her do this and put the spirit into it! You go girl! -
You have an incredibly beautiful voice and heart. So lovely to meet you and hear your music 🎶 ♥
