A Beautiful Woman Lost
 
My sister 'Julie' aged only 41 yrs passed away on Tuesday from Liver failure and her funeral is tomorrow.
Her story is a sad one, especially the last 5 years or so. You see she drank herself to death, not realizing this could actually happen.
I knew the real 'Julie' so nothing else matters. She had long blonde hair, with stricking brown eyes, fair complexion and a tiny woman at that. So beautiful, soft & gentle and a proud dedicated mother. I loved her so much but I couldnt stop this from happening.
Anyone in trouble out there, please help yourself, so that your family does not have to go through this. I never, ever thought I would be arranging my baby sisters funeral.
I have to say, thankyou though to everyone here over the last couple of years who has helped me through this and Im probably going to need a little more now.

I'm so very very sorry justjo, it's just heartbreaking what this does to them, and to us.

May she be in peace now.

Very sad. I'm sure you saw it coming. If only denial wasn't such a betrayer.

My condolences to you.
