“This is where my Mother’s Day 2020 story starts,” she proceeded. “I shed my son Cameron Boyce on July 6, 2019, at the age of 20 to something called Sudden Unforeseen Fatality in Epilepsy (SUDEP), which I had never come across before shedding Cameron Boyce. SUDEP takes place when otherwise healthy and balanced individuals with epilepsy die during a seizure.”

Everybody enjoyed him as well as really felt good around him,” she recalled. “They were drawn into his warmth as well as rootlessness. He was genuine as well as smart, with no airs or required to be the center of attention. Cameron Boyce and also I were extremely close, and also we talked about everything. He once informed me that he could not wait for me to be older so that he could look after me.”

“These past ten months have been life-altering for me in a way beyond words,” she confessed. “You cannot compare it to anything since it is a trauma that is dissimilar to anything worldwide. It has developed an open hole that is raw and gut-wrenching.”

“It is something that has for far also long been swept under the carpet,” she continued. “As well as I hope that sharing Cameron Boyce’s story and the stories of various other SUDEP mom warriors will be the driver for change.”
