Those first simple sentences you recommended are helpful and caring.

After I was sexually assaulted I had no memory or black spots in my memory. So, my experience was not remembered fully for 30 years. It’s hard to talk about an experience you don’t remember in a sequence, but get flashbacks of over decades. My body did remember but my mind didn’t until the doctor who did it died. I was safe enough for flashbacks of memory to flood me when I knew he was dead.🌹
