Try to get good contact with your EP/cardiologist.
Organise some good specialist around you and your family. A GP and psychotherapist are very usefull contacts!

You can be happy with brugada syndrome! All you have to do is not think to much on it! Live as you lived before you knew it! Don't let anxiety take advantage of you! In the first days, I was living in fear. Don't you feel like this!
And get another medical opinion, if you don't feel satisfied with what yours have "offered". Enjoy life! You can do this! :)

Let yourself cry, let yourself be sad or angry. Get the emotions out, but make sure you talk about them with somebody (professional help is great). It becomes a lot easier to manage and deal with over time! I personally lead a nearly normal life, and often forget I even have the disease. Get emotions out early and help yourself to move forward.

It can be a scary diagnosis, but research as much as possible. There are new treatments being offered such as ablation.
