Aaaw Devil I know what you mean. I was out with my sister in a large shopping centre a while back. After she had a fit I had sorted her and sat next to her reading the paper until she was well enough to get up, I got a lot of negative comments but what are you meant to do. Luckily we both got a good laugh out of it. It sounds like your friend had a good spirit and that is what you should remember.
Yes, you do get alot of strange looks and negative comments, ignorance...i told a couple at the table in Manchester to F**k off! They were actually moaning and pulling their stupid faces because they were eating!!! I was like this

Probably not the right time to ask you... but, all I did was stop her hurting herself and sit with her, and shout for help.
What should I have done?
I had an epileptic colleague and she said if she were to have a fit, ( and she had 3 whilst i was there) not to try and restrain her but to make to give her plenty of space and remove any sharp dangerous objects, then call ambulance. She usually got a slight warning a few seconds before a sort of metallic feeling in her head she described it as, and would try and get somewhere safe if she could.

My Sister gets a kind of twitch in her tongue about 30 to 6 seconds before she has a fit..which I guess is a good thing really as she at least has warning!

I have a good friend who has epilepsy and she says that whenever she gets a fit she hears a song playing in her head, its always been the same familiar song. but after the fit she doesn't know what it was. shes never ever been able to recall it, she just knows when she hears it she knows it. i find that really really strange. Thankfully she hasnt had a fit for many years now.

See, all I could remember was to move all objects out of the way... and not to restrain (I remembered us stepping over my friends brother on the hall floor when we were kids, as he had a fit).
But, where this girl had fallen, I would have had to move her to get her head away from the shoe seat thingy (its fixed to the floor). So I just kneeled down and rammed my thigh between the seat and her head.... so she thrashed against my thigh.
I still don't know if I did the right thing. If I should have moved her etc. Once I'd gone to sit with her and ask people if they'd called for help I didn't need to tell them to push off... they were all gone so quick I had to shout for help.
So sorry DD Someday we will all be reunited with our family and friends.

So sorry for your loss DiD, I know how you feel, I lost my childhood friend in a car accident when we were both 18, just remember her and the good times, and like many others on thread have said, you will see her again one day.
So sorry for your loss DD. 42 is no age at all but at least it sounds as though your friend lived her life to the full while she was here.
Thank you xxx
I'm so sorry for the loss of your friend.
42 is too young....how sad.

There are no words I can say that will ease your pain but just to tell you that I feel for your loss. I lost my beloved brother when he was 24 and drowned in the bath while having an epileptic fit. This was 40 years ago and I miss him still. If it is any comfort someone once said not to see it as a life cut short but a life completed.
That`s beautiful.
I`m awful sorry about your beloved brother squiggle.
We will see our loved ones again one day. That is my belief.
I KNOW I will see him again Scotty because he had come to faith, and it IS a comfort. Thank you for the hug.
Thank you too Green and Pink Don't want to divert from DID's thread but your hugs are much appreciated.
