Support groups when coming off life support machine?

my parnter was on lifesupport for 16 days , is there any help groups to help0 him and me deal with the shock and everyday life after ,thankyou

No. I was in a coma for six days, on the seventh I was on my way home. While I agree with you that its a shock that your partner has recovered, thank God you don't need to spend more money with doctors and live life.

seems like youd need suport before , your alive get with it . Get yourself busy you shouldnt need suport if your better
