Hi Sara
No you are not way off. Loosing a (33yr old) daughter a couple years ago and going through all the stages of
grief, I know it is the same with Epilepsy. Some days you feel like you could just scream, others extra
happy, others you want to blame everyone, the big why comes up. This sound familiar? We were told going
through our daughters death not to keep it inside just to let the tears flow no matter who saw them. I tended
to keep them in and be (I guess) supportive to the rest of our children. It sure helped letting it out and for
everyone else too as they were hurting but didn't know how to express. Now they are all not afraid to talk and
bring up the subject.
Knowing someone is there to support and to help you is the best thing for everyone. Was on the Oprah show a
few days back, a young boy who had some condition that made him out of control, got help. He told everyone
that when he saw or felt 'negative' things or people around him, he surrounded himself with a 'white light',
the white light being 'positive' which helped him feel calm and safe. This really intrigued me as feeling
positive we are not about to blow when someone says something negative about us which some days we can get a
lot of. Great therapy to try.
Take care and keep smiling.

Subject: [epilepsy] Re: over 5 yrs and still hurts (kind of a rant)
How long have you felt this way. I Know I could be way off but I wonder if you are in one of the stages of
grief. I think that sometimes with the stages of any loss (in this case the life you would have had without
epilepsy) can seem to be over for months or years, then something happens and you return to one of the stages
for a while. I guess whether or not this is a possibility depends on how long you have been feeling this way.
You know yourself best and rant as much as you need to. We're here.
