Not How It Should End

Very long time, no post. I've had an on/off relationship with an alcoholic BF for many years. Long story short we were living together the last 3 1/2 years until I kicked him out last Tgiving due to his drinking. However, we still kept in touch & saw each other occasionally even though we were apart. He visited here last week & we made plans to vacation together next month.

Yesterday I had two calls from his mom & thought it was just her dialing in error but I decided to call her to see what was up because ABF and I hadn't spoken since Sun & whenever I called I just got voicemail.
She tells me that she found ABF dead earlier yesterday I was just stunned. IDK what cause of death is but his mom is of the opinion it was a heart attack. He was cold when she found him. IDK if an autopsy is scheduled but am curious if the drinking was a contributing factor.

During our last visit I noticed his hands shaking but when I mentioned it, he denied that it was happening. In any case whatever the cause it won't bring him back.
I am heartbroken & sad that this is how things ended. We still have unfinished business! I have some of his belongings around my house. I grieve for him, our relationship & his family. Vent over.

I am so sorry! Sending hugs my friend. It is everyone on the forum's biggest fear, that their loved one dies from this horrendous disease.
