Stroke

A stroke interrupts the blood - the vehicle of one's joy of living - from reaching part of the brain. It is read as an extreme resistance to life and to change: a deep indecision, and a frustrated fury that one cannot express in word or gesture. The pattern is wanting to manage and control everything for others, overstepping one's limits and forgetting oneself, while refusing others any say in one's own life. The short explanation's "severe frustration at not being able to control circumstances and/or others" is exactly that thwarted need to control. Relief is described as letting change come, releasing the grip on controlling others, and turning attention and care back toward oneself.

(Note: this is a metaphysical interpretation; a stroke is a medical emergency requiring immediate care.)

Example from the findings: a stroke is read as resistance to change and a frustrated, inexpressible fury at not being able to control everything.
