    About this ebook

    Epilepsy demons have names: Ignorance, Intolerance, Discrimination and Apathy. Epilepsy isn’t a pretty disorder. People would rather turn their heads and pretend not to see a seizure.
    Shirley shares her struggles with Epilepsy through stories and poems. She mixes perseverance with splashes of laughter; despair with splurges of hope. Through her journey, she keeps her faith. She knows that today the Demons will not win.

      Commentary: Grieving Over Mom: No, She's Not In A 'Better Place'

      May 10, 2019

      Two days before my mother died, she was incontinent, incoherent and, with the exception of some humming, incommunicado. Dementia had swept away her ability to swallow food or water, and danger of asphyxiation was real. Nurses swabbed her dry lips wit

      It is August of the year 2000, and I am cold. I know the sun is shining outside, but there are no windows in the courtroom. The lighting is subdued, darker in the back where spectators sit and lighter in the front where tragedies play out—like a the

      Jun 14, 2020

      — “I love to cry — as long as it’s not about my life.” It was a simple statement, a line I’ve said a thousand times before. But when your dad is a shrink — like mine — you never know where a conversation might take you.  A few months ago I was visiti
