(((Shirt))) - I'm so very sorry. I lost a cousin this past August from liver failure. He had contacted hepatitis C while shooting up heroin, something our uncle introduced him to at 17 years old (major dysfunction on that side of the family).
He had turned his life around, but it was too late. I'm an RA, and I truly hate addiction. My prayers are with you, your cousin, and all who love him.
Hugs and prayers,
Amy
