Walking the Unexpected Path With Terrence: The Day My World Stopped!

On 25 August 2020, Terence Ang’s life changed in an instant. A haemorrhagic stroke left him with aphasia, robbing him of his ability to speak or comprehend language. Once articulate, confident and expressive, Terence suddenly found himself unable to do what he had always taken for granted, communicate.

But even in the silence, he was not alone. His sister Angela, brother-in-law Yew Teck, and his partner stood by him through the confusion and emotional darkness. Alongside them were doctors, therapists, and friends, each helping him slowly piece life back together.

Recovery was far more than physical. It was mental, emotional, and deeply personal. Every word relearned and every step taken was a victory.

A year after the stroke, Terence began to write, tentatively at first, but then with greater purpose. Through writing, he unlocked not only healing but also a calling: to speak for others who could not, and to show that recovery after stroke does not end in the hospital. It begins there.

His books have won international awards, appeared on Times Square billboards and touched readers around the world. But what matters most to Terence is not recognition, it is impact.

And now, your support can go even further.

Recovery is the first step. Reintegration is the journey. Terence is living proof it is worth taking.
