AB Editors’  NoteThis  book  is  meant  to  offer  guidance  on  supporting  patients  and  families  through  recovery  from  critical  illness.  Understanding  and  giving  voice  to  the  patient  experience  is  at  the  heart  of  this  work.  The  first  chapter  tells  the  story  of  a  patient  and  her  husband,  starting  with  the  injury  that  led  to  her  critical  illness.  The  story  contains  graphic  details  of  the  author’s  experience.  We  opted  not  to  exclude  these  details,  as  they  are  central  to  the  patient’s  narrative  of  injury,  illness,  and  recovery.  This  chapter  does  not  follow  the  format  of  the  remaining  chapters;  it  starts  with  the  patient’s  experience,  continues  to  the  family  experience,  and  concludes  with  considerations  for  recovery.
