An inspirational story told with such grace…… Terence never dreamt he would suffer a stroke. After all, didn’t strokes happen only to old people? Terence did not die, he survived. But there is a difference between just surviving and living “magnificently and beautifully”.

A Cry In The Dark details the journey of Terence Ang, an established marketing professional who had it all, until he suffered a stroke that crumbled his life. Determined to regain full function and mobility, Terrence put his all into physiotherapy sessions where he went through denial, anger and finally, acceptance. His life changing experience evoked a sense immense gratitude for the simple things in life he once took for granted.
This book is written, and illustrated with Terence’s ‘non-functional’ right hand. Although his story may have begun with a cry in the dark, he discovers he has more strength, more courage and much more in himself than he can ever think or imagine.

A Cry in the Dark is an inspiring story that everyone should read.

In the aftermath of his stroke, Terence Ang found himself in a new and unfamiliar world. He felt like he had been thrown into a dark abyss, one where he never knew what would happen next. But even in this shadowland, Terence found a new self. He learned to live joyfully and fully in the present moment, despite the limitations that his injury imposed on him.

Mr. Ang is also a vocal advocate for the rights of stroke victims and has dedicated much of his time to patient rehabilitation. He continues to provide people with the support they need to recover from their injuries and helps them feel less alone in their journey.

Terence is such an inspirational person. The drawings in his book are his own drawings using his ‘non-functional’ right hand. His story can teach us all a lot:

Enjoy time with those important to you.
When obstacles arise - don't be afraid, tackle them head on.
The glass is ALWAYS half full!!

Truly great read.
