Burdens of having epilepsy

I have been diagnosed with partial complex seizure disorder. The challenges, I have faced is my law enforcement career. I had been a police officer for 35 years. Since was not medically cleared to carry a firearm. I medically retired earlier then expected.
It has been frustrating knowing that I am not employed. But accepting the changes in my life. I am coping with the change the best way possible. Any suggestions

  1. Yes, it can be a Burden and encroach our Life with misunderstandings. ACCEPTANCE of Epilespy first, followed by understanding and guidance. Through years of Auras/ Seizures realization of Life is very important. As a Nurse and Childbirth Educator realization of LIFE for others is important. Never give up nor give in!
