[COLOR="Purple"]What a beautiful post--even though it is sad-and you are in pain,
I have lost many close family member--I found once I had cried all I could-and let the guilt-go it WAS replaced with only the happy memories of that person--you always want to remember the good times[/COlO
R] Sometimes I personally think--yes they sufferred-I did all I could-it wasn't enough-etc..then I turn it around and say---wow the happy times--I am grateful I had them with this person--better thanif I never had them---even if the end was sad----(((HUGS)))

Seeking Wisdom thank you for your beautiful touching post. My heart goes out to you and your family at this terrible time. I am so glad you do have some lovely memories.
Its so so difficult and painful watching the alcoholism sucking the life and soul out of those we love........I currently have a front row seat watching my husband struggle day in day out, but am making plans to change that in order to save myself and my children.
God bless you and may your husband RIP. take care Phiz

Givenup,
This is an old post from 2007, and thank you very much for bumping
it. It is a beautiful poignant post that I've never read before but
resonates deeply with me. I hope the OP is finding peace in her life now.
