SUDEP

By -

This will be my 3rd post in one day because I apparently have a lot I want to say. I just got back from a walk and reflected as I usually do. I was mostly thinking about epilepsy and how it has impacted my life and so many. I recently learned that someone I knew passed away from complications due to epilepsy. I hate that they ended up being a statistic of SUDEP. Something that I have feared for myself.

Remembering a soul that was kind, giving, creative and wanted to be accepted. To honor and help them pass to the other side learn to make a paper crane. That was their specialty and something they were passionate about.

As I was listening to the podcast it spoke about invalidation, unresolved conflicts, emotional withdraw...

I thought for along time if I should even write to you. In my head I just wanted to lash out and tell you all the bad things you are to me; I won’t ever because I’m better than that. Rather I will explain to you that my success in life has nothing to do with you; never has or will.  I have grown in many aspects you will never have the pleasure to see or know. I surrounded my life with people that are caring, compassionate, loving and understanding. This was what I’ve been looking for since my mother passed away. I tried to find these characteristics in you that seem to be absent. I always wonder why their was so much hate in your heart? You’re the only one that can answer that and I am sure you’ll keep that to yourself to the day you die. I try to send hate the other way because all it does is cause harm to yourself or to others around you; but I suppose you don’t see that do you? Did you ever think at one point where your life was heading? Do you not care and stroll on by? When...
