Shaun is a father of two girls, Lilly and Harper, and his journey with epilepsy has been lifelong. Three years ago, his wife Tamika suddenly and unexpectedly died as a result of epilepsy.
For reasons that are poorly understood, people with epilepsy have an increased risk of dying suddenly for no discernible reason. It's a condition known as SUDEP (The Sudden, Unexpected Death of someone with EPilepsy).
Shaun himself has lived with epilepsy form a young age. This episode is devoted to his story.
