Do You Have A Group For The Spouses Or Parents Of Epilepsy People.

I think my husband needs the support of others like him that go through seeing a loved one go through the pain of epilepsy. If anyone knows one send it. I might be able to get him to look at it.

If you love him & he loves you that's all the support you really need other then that talk to a MD about a support group on it. That's my best advice to you.

@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member , Your local Epilepsy Foundation offers a virtual support group for Caregivers & Parents. Go to www.epilepsy.com & you can look up your local Epilepsy Foundation & you’ll find their contact information & a little about them but for some reason they don’t have their own website & so on that particular site it doesn’t offer a list or calendar of events But if you go to their Facebook page at “Epilepsy Foundation South Carolina” you’ll find their Facebook page & a calendar of their events. Some of it might be out date but most of it is up to date. In March maybe they’ll have another Caregiver meeting coming up but you could call them & ask them & see what other events & resources they offer if you want cause I don’t see it listed on their Facebook & they don’t have their own website. Good luck. Your friend in Texas, Becky

A good place to check out would the Epilepsy Foundation! I say that they have multiple support groups. Also they have things where he and you may go on something like a week end camping, go out one night doing something like bowling and more. These is all free also accompanied with other epileptics and family. When they do have a certain amount that get filled up quickly. Such I'm on one these on a camping trip scheduled in September and it filled up already. Only 40 people could go. Which I say is understandable this being given for free. One thing they do ask is for is a donation. Also, help them get donations doing something like a walk and get donations from friends, family, from anybody. Any
amount to help them keep giving what they give!💕 There EMAIL is epilepsy.com
