Jessica Sharman was 19 when she got on a train with her boyfriend, Rich Bishop in March 2016. That's when the teen suffered a series of seizures. These sorts of attacks can be absolutely terrifying, as these parents know all too well.
The seizures caused Jessica to have severe memory loss — when she saw her parents and her boyfriend, she didn't know who they were. She didn't even recognize herself when she looked in the mirror.
Rich, who is 25, stuck by Jessica's side even when things got really rough. Jessica, now 20, was faced with a ton of strangers who claimed they were her friends and family.
Jessica and Rich had been together for seven months when Jessica, who has epilepsy, had the seizures. Obviously, Jessica's memories caused serious issues in her relationship with Rich.
Doctors diagnosed Jessica with amnesia brought on by epilepsy. Not knowing who her family was, Jessica didn't even want to go home with them originally, so you can imagine what it was like for her to be reintroduced to her boyfriend.
Rich wasn't deterred, though. He was determined to make Jessica fall in love with him again.

After a series of seizures caused her to lose her memory, Jessica couldn't remember her family or friends.
She only went home with her parents because her reflection looked the same as the girl in their photos.
Doctors said Jessica's memory might return in six months, but it could also never come back.
Jessica's boyfriend, Rich, was still in love with her. Rich was going to win her back no matter what.
She hated it when they were together, though, because it made her uncomfortable.
She tried to break up with Rich, but he knew he couldn't just leave her.
While trying to win her back, Rich started taking Jessica for walks in the park, where he told her about their past.
He also took her to the places that used to be her favorite restaurants, trying anything to remind her of their history.
Eventually, Jessica saw how passionate Rich was about their relationship, so she realized they mush have truly cared for each other before she lost her memory.
Since then, the two have been together — Jessica fell in love with Rich all over again.
Their relationship struggles aren't over, though, because Rich might have to win Jessica over again in the future.
While there's a chance that Jessica could regain her memory, there's also a 50 percent chance that she could lose her memory once more.
There's no doubt in my mind that Rich would try to make Jessica fall in love with him again, but would she reunite with him?
Jessica told Elite Daily, "Rich was able to make me fall in love with him twice — so I know he could do it again."
