Amy Grant Has a New Perspective After Losing Her 'Superpower' in Bike Accident
September 19, 2024

Amy Grant's memory used to be her "superpower," but now she can't trust it. She does, however, believe there are hidden gifts in everything.
It's been two years since Amy Grant, 63, suffered a traumatic brain injury after a bike-related accident, and she has a new perspective on life.

Amy Grant's Memory Used To Be Her 'Superpower'
In an interview with AARP, Amy opened up about healing from the depression that she experienced after being stripped of her "superpower." The Christian singer and songwriter also explained some changes she made in hopes of transforming her life.
"I’ve had to be very patient with myself. I have had a lot of good, hard cries. And I went through depression," Amy says. "But everybody is recovering from something. That’s life. If nothing else, we recover every day from the shock of what it means to age. My memory used to be my superpower. Now I can’t trust my memory. But there are hidden gifts in everything."
When Amy fell off her bike in 2022, she was unconscious for about 10 minutes. She was treated for cuts and abrasions as well as a concussion. They discovered a cyst that had been growing in her throat, which went into hypergrowth when she had the accident. She had to have a 5-hour surgery to get rid of it. She also had to learn to sing again.

Her Husband, Vince Gill, Has Been a Huge Support
Later that year, Amy spoke to Fox News Digital at the 45th Kennedy Center Honors about returning to the spotlight and expressed her gratitude for her husband, Vince Gill. "Vince has a kind of way of grounding the space that we're in even without saying a word. I think early on I said, ‘What if I’m different, what if I'm not the same?' and he said, ‘Hey, every day we wake up a little different, and we love each other, and it’s good," Amy shares.
Having a supportive spouse when going through something like Amy did is a must. Between Amy Grant's memory not being what it once was and worrying that she would be different, having such a person by your side is a blessing.
After the accident, Amy told AARP that for months, she wasn't able to leave the house, look at screens, or even be on her phone. Even though it was a difficult time, she found other ways to cope.

She is Now More Intentional About Her Health
"I have a daily ritual of connecting to myself. I have a cup of coffee and stand with my bare feet on the grass. I welcome myself to the day," Amy says. "Less than a week ago, I was so upset about something, but I went outside in the grass that night . . . and I sat there in silence, but I could see that I was a tiny part of a big picture. And I stayed until I felt peace."
Amy also shares that she is more intentional about her health. She now drinks non-alcoholic beer and joined the YMCA for swimming as she can access them when she visits other places. "I’m not back to riding a bike yet, because I still have some balance issues. But I’m working on it." she shares.
