"Carolyn had always been the strength of her family. Her husband and children considered her invulnerable and counted on her to keep the family running, working, cooking, cleaning, helping with homework and coordinating the family's social life. She pulled it all off: running a successful consulting business, caring for her four children and serving on the local school board.

"One rainy night, she was running late for a board meeting. She lost control of her car and hit a utility pole, fracturing her pelvis and both legs..." How did Carolyn Cope?
