Retired LPGA Star Can’t Hide Frustration as Epilepsy Ruins “Nice Moments” With 4-Year-Old Daughter

It doesn’t take much for a parent to drop everything when it comes to their kids. For former LPGA Tour player Jane Park, that moment came when her daughter, Grace, was just 10 months old and diagnosed with intractable epilepsy. The relentless seizures and hospital visits that followed led Park to put her professional golf career on hold, and eventually, she stepped away from the game to focus on her daughter’s health.

Park’s love and dedication to her daughter are truly inspiring. Despite the challenges they’ve faced, Park remains hopeful and grateful for the support of her fans. Recently, the former golfer shared some gut-wrenching updates about her daughter, Grace, who suffers from epilepsy. In a heart-wrenching Instagram story, Park revealed a poignant moment where she said, “G fell asleep grabbing onto my ear. I may have forced open her fist and placed it on my ear. I’m unsure what it’s like to have my kid reach out and grab my hand (or reach for anything) but something about her finding enough comfort to fall asleep like this warms my heart somehow.”

But the tranquility was short-lived, as just 15 minutes later, Park’s world was turned upside down when she said, “15 min later she woke up From a crazy a– seizure.” She ended her post with a heartbreaking statement, “Epilepsy doesn’t want us to have nice moments.” Park’s emotional post highlighted the harsh realities of living with epilepsy, where moments of peace are fleeting and fragile.

Despite the challenges, Park’s love and devotion to her daughter shine through, and she implores others to cherish the nice moments, no matter how brief they may be. That’s why Park even started something inspired by Grace that gives her solace in their hard times.

It’s like she’s poured all her emotions onto the canvas, creating a beautiful testament to her journey. The 38-year-old, “I started painting on a whim in February while watching YouTube videos. What began as a simple hobby has taken on a life of its own. I’ve found so much joy in representing disability and celebrating diverse experiences through painting.”
