"If you can’t laugh, you will cry. We still cry on some days...but there’s always something magical in every moment that we can make light of or that brings a smile.”
– Karen, mother of adult son Dan
While caring for a loved one with LGS is certainly stressful, sometimes nothing works better than a good laugh to ease your mind. It helps you remember to focus on the present and to celebrate every smile or contagious giggle. Even loved ones with the most severe disabilities can connect with others through laughter.
A good laugh doesn’t just lighten your load mentally, it actually causes physical changes to occur in your body.
Just because LGS is a serious condition doesn’t mean you always have to be serious. Laughing together as a family can help you be better able to cope with life’s challenges.
When laughter is shared, it binds families together and increases happiness and intimacy
