Trauma: This experience would be traumatic for most. But if this is creating a psychologic problem or sleeping problem for you, you will need psychologic counseling to help you get over it.

My condolences: it is more scary for the observer than for the person having a seizure.I have taken care of people who have recovered from seizures, and they usually have no recollection of pain or memory of the event.The brain doesn't interpret/register/ things normally during a seizure, although it may appear that they are suffering. An aneurysm is painful, but she would not feel pain after seizing. R.I.P.
