Thank you for your thoughts mywife... which before I go further, I am sorry for your loss.
She can apply for FMLA so that she can at least still have some sort of income coming in... I am just afraind that if her job finds out she is taking leave because of her addiction problem they will fire her. Thankfully last year when she took leave, I convinced her family doctor to put on the forms she needed leave because she was grieving (which she was), but she was going through withdrawal at the same time.
I don't know how they could not put that info in there this time around...
