Amy Grant's traumatic brain injury resulted in a transformation of her life.

Despite suffering a traumatic brain injury from a bike accident two years ago, Amy Grant is focused solely on the future.

The Christian singer-songwriter discussed her journey to healing from depression following the loss of her "superpower" in a new interview with AARP, and revealed the reasons behind her decision to make significant changes to transform her life.

"Grant stated, "I've had to be patient with myself as I've had many good, hard cries and experienced depression. However, everyone goes through something. Life is full of recoveries, including daily recoveries from the shock of aging. Although my memory used to be my strength, now I can't rely on it. Yet, there are hidden gifts in every situation.""

"The stories we tell ourselves shape our realities, so find the resources you need to progress."

In 2022, the "Baby, Bay" singer collapsed unconscious for 10 minutes after falling off her bike. She received medical attention for cuts, abrasions, and a concussion at a hospital.

"I have had a lot of good, hard cries. And I went through depression. But everybody is recovering from something." — Amy Grant

"Jennifer Cooke, Amy's manager, stated that Amy is recovering well from her heart surgery and is getting stronger every day. Despite her progress, they have decided to postpone her fall tour to allow her to focus on her recovery and rebuild her stamina. Amy wants to give 100% when she tours, but they do not believe she will be ready by the time rehearsals for the fall dates begin."

Doctors discovered a cyst in Grant's throat due to an accident.

"Earlier this year, she revealed to E! News that she had a cyst growing in her throat due to a bike wreck she experienced. The trauma caused the cyst to go into hypergrowth, and she underwent a five-hour surgery to remove it."

Two years ago, Grant experienced a health scare when she was diagnosed with PAPVR (partial anomalous pulmonary venous return), which resulted in complications to the blood circulation through the chambers near her heart. She underwent open-heart surgery to correct the birth defect.

At the 45th Kennedy Center Honors, Grant spoke to Planet Chronicle Digital about her return to the spotlight and expressed her appreciation for her husband Vince Gill.

"Grant admitted that he was nervous on his first day of performing. He forgot the lyrics to some of the songs he had written. However, he emphasized that he was on a healing journey and that love and kindness were also important for healing. He added, "I feel filled up from head to toe.""

"Vince has been so patient," she remarked. "He has a unique ability to ground the space we're in without saying a word. I remember early on asking, 'What if I'm different, what if I'm not the same?' and he responded, 'Every day we wake up a little different, and we love each other, and it's good.'"

Despite being unable to leave the house, look at screens, or use her phone for months following her accident, Grant found new ways to cope.

"I find emotional recovery by connecting with myself daily. I have a cup of coffee and stand with my bare feet on the grass, welcoming myself to the day. Despite being upset about something just a week ago, I sat in silence in the grass that night and felt peace."

"She stated, "I'm thrilled to be here, but I must be more mindful of my health. For instance, I now consume nonalcoholic beer. I discovered swimming in 2021 and joined the YMCA because I frequently travel and there is a YMCA in most towns. However, I am not yet able to ride a bike again due to balance issues. Nevertheless, I am working on improving my balance.""

While on tour and recording, Grant has learned to accept help when it's offered.

"Big accomplishments are rarely achieved alone," she stated. "As we age, some things naturally diminish, but problem-solving becomes even more crucial. To me, the thrill is in bridging gaps between needs and resources. I find great joy in coming together for a shared purpose. The most valuable gift we can offer one another is our presence, truly being there for one another."

"For decades, I have maintained that I cannot control others' choices, but I can control my own. It is crucial to be intentional with the life we have, and being in our 60s provides us with the freedom to make a mark without feeling pressured. I look at my peers and believe that if we want to see change, it is our generation's responsibility. We are in the ideal position to make a difference, as we have completed what we were meant to do, but we still have life left to live!"
