In August 2004, Jason, one of New York Cityâs most sought-after guitarists, suffered a brain hemorrhage during a concert in Manhattan. That night at the hospital, the doctors told Jasonâs familyâif he makes it through the night, there wonât be much left of him. Jasonâs wife, Monica, pregnant at the time, froze. âEverything completely stopped. I forgot all about the pregnancy. I think I left my body. I remember thinking, âThis cannot be true. I cannot go on without Jason.ââ

Days passed, and Jasonâs family was forced to accept the new dark reality at hand. But they refused to accept the dark future described by doubtful doctors. So in the face of wrenching despair and horrifying odds, the Criglers made a resolutionâJason will make a full recovery. And thus began the long, grueling, implausible and mystifying journey chronicled in Life. Support. Music.
