Send us a text

Imagine waking up after a month in a coma only to discover that everything you had worked for - and the future you had planned - was gone! In this powerful and deeply moving episode on the Grief Talk Podcast, I had the honour of speaking with Kijuan Amey. A blind U.S. Air Force veteran, mentor, coach, motivational speaker, Wounded Warrior ambassador, and the author of his new book, "Don’t Focus on Why Me: From Motorcycle Accident to Miracle".

At just 25 years old, Kijuan’s life was changed forever after a tragic motorcycle accident in 2017 left him blind. Waking up in the hospital after a month-long coma motionless, unable to speak or see, Kijuan shares what most people would consider the unimaginable challenge of rebuilding his life from the ground up.

With his grit, humour, faith, and relentless determination, Kijuan not only describes how he confronted the pain daily, but transformed his tragedy into a story of triumph and resilience to now help others feel hopeful and inspired!

In this conversation, Kijuan candidly discusses:

•His shock and panic of waking up blind.
•The gruelling physical, mental, and spiritual healing process.
•How resilience, support, humour and faith guided him through despair and depression.
•The wisdom and strength he’s gained and how he inspires others to rise above their own struggles.
As a bereaved mom for twenty years, I was profoundly moved by Kijuan’s courage and determination. His story is not just about survival but serves as a beacon of hope to help anyone find purpose in the pain and inspiration from the struggle to let their light shine bright and live again!
