Having left TF1 in 2017, Catherine Laborde has been fighting assiduously once morest the disease for many years. Unfortunately, her condition has recently deteriorated, and it is a very dark picture that her husband Thomas Stern came to portray at the microphone of Faustine Bollaert. A situation as sad as it is upsetting…
Weather presenter on TF1 for 28 years, Catherine Laborde has long been one of the most recognizable public figures of the PAF. But today, overtaken by illness, it is far from the lights that the Bordelaise fights once morest several particularly violent pathologies, including aggressive Parkinson’s and dementia with Lewy bodies.
The moving confidences of Catherine Laborde’s husband
Guest of “It starts today” this Thursday followingnoon, her husband Thomas Stern gave some very reassuring news regarding the woman who shares his life.

Incredibly dignified and courageous in the face of the ordeal his wife went through, Thomas Stern is determined to do everything in his power to help. So when Faustine Bollaert asked him if he considered being “no more than that, and no longer being her man”, the writer had the perfect answer:

He thinks that the difference between a caregiver and a caregiver is that the illness exists for both, but the caregiver always looks for the person in the sick person, even if he has to nourish it with memories, revive it, reincarnate her. We cannot do otherwise otherwise a break sets in.
Like many couples, elderly or not, Catherine Laborde and Thomas Stern are now engaged in a merciless fight once morest illness. Let us wish him and her much courage in the face of this ordeal, which they approach with courage and dignity. Because unfortunately, improvement is not an option…
