We’ve heard a lot about concussions over the past year, but it’s not often that you hear from the wives of the players suffering from them. That’s what makes this video, in which Chris Pronger’s wife Lauren opens up about her husband’s slow recovery, so compelling.

Heartbreaking, too. While the Philadelphia Flyers no doubt miss a healthy Chris Pronger, it would appear the Pronger family does as well. From CSN Philly:

As someone who’s never suffered a concussion, I can’t say what would be tougher: being alone during such a difficult period, or being surrounded by friends and family that don’t quite understand and can’t help but feel anxious. It seems as though, with the headaches and the sensitivity to noise and light, being alone would be preferable at times.
