Oh Hearty. I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your husband. Thank you so much for your kind words especially when you are going through this now and must be feeling so raw. I did go to Cruse and found it helpful but I think more addiction specific help would be better. I had thought of attending Al Anon but I didn’t feel it was right to go and speak of grief. I think its more for relatives trying to cope with current alcoholism. I am now over two years on from my brothers death and at times its still so hard to believe he’s gone. I’ve found some peace in that I’ve accepted that I will never have the answers that I was so desperately looking for at the start. I’ll never know why his wonderful, talented life ended this way and I’ll never know why he didn’t seek help or even admit he had a problem. Life is too hard for some people. I do still wish I could have done more, although I don’t know what that “more” would be. Your words ring so true – that they cant cope with demons when sober. I hope that you have a good circle of friends and family that will get you through this awful time. Please take care of yourself and I wish you love and healing. XX

Thank you so much for your reply. Im so sorry for the loss of your mother. It must have been so painful for you but I’m glad to hear that there is a way forward and you’re feeling more at peace. Did you speak to a bereavement counsellor at all?

Thank you for your kindness. I think I will try to find a bereavement counsellor as its such a struggle and I miss him so much. xx
