Brie had suffered two brain bleeds, a thoracic spine fracture, fractured ribs and broken teeth and was left with a weakened left side of her body.
A crowdfunding campaign was set up three days after her hospitalization, raising more than £26,000 to bring Bree back to her native Australia.
Her parents had asked the Australian government for special permission to see their daughter, thinking they would have to say goodbye to her – but they were not allowed to go.

Three months later, she woke up from a coma—but suffered from amnesia and could not remember her life—with her fiancée for another two months.
Five months after the accident, she began to recall her life before the coma and tried to call her fiancé, with whom she had been for four years, only to find that he would be ghosting her. And went ahead.

The 25-year-old has said that she now finds it difficult to trust people – not just potential partners – because of her ex-fiancee’s behavior.
‘Four years later, I was incredibly shocked. We were best friends for years. I never thought this would happen in a million years. Especially at such a terrible time in my life. I thought she was my soul mate, but I thought wrong.
She says it has made her distrustful of finding love – and people in general.
‘It has definitely taken a toll on my confidence. Not only in romantic relationships but with relationships in general.
‘It has caused me to distrust people so much, especially those with whom I am close. I am trying very hard not to let his unbelievable antics affect my relationships and life.

‘I’m glad I can now spread awareness about traumatic brain injuries and their aftermath. It is not just a temporary injury but a lifelong injury that will affect my mindset and physicality for the rest of my life.
Despite her ongoing injuries and the loss of her long-term relationship, Brie told FEMAIL that she has tried to appreciate what she has.
She explains: ‘The emotional toll of being so close to death has affected me in a positive way. I am so grateful for the little things in life now that I take it lightly and have a much greater appreciation for life.
‘My experience has taught me how flimsy and short life is. Now I want to make the most of my life and pack it with as many memories as possible.
My only goal in life has nothing to do with monetary value, but genuine happiness.’
