Hi Claude
I've read your post and the replies. I'm so glad you found this site. Although this very much happened to you, it also happened to us - your family and friends (I am Claudette's sister everyone). But, I have my own experience, and do not quite understand exactly what you have been through.
I am glad you have found this site and can discuss and share your experiences with others who may have more of an understanding. I have now joined too and can, hopefully, support you a bit better if I can understand a bit more. Someone mentioned counselling. Do you want to try this option?
Anyway, I am here for you, as are the rest of the family. Let me know if you want to talk, want to be alone, want to visit, need company, want a certain food - whatever you want I will try to help.
Love you loads.
