Jill Taylor: My stroke of insight

After the stroke her mind had gone completely into absolute silence for several weeks until the blood was removed from her brain cells. She had lost her language and had to learn again words, to speak and read. She had needed 8 years to recover from the stroke.

It is also worth mentioning that she has validated an experience that other people have had. Enjoy it :)
