Oh my goodness, your post makes me feel so very sad.
I am 39 today. My next birthday is 40. I cannot imagine being in a hospice at the age I am.
I am very sad for you. I think you have said some amazing things about your friend.
I wish you the best
May your friend rest in peace

And may all those who loved her find comfort in their memories of her.
Love never dies.

Today has been a day of sorrow and reflection, but also a time to appreciate life. Yes, she was an alcoholic. Yes, it killed her in the end. But she was also a daughter, sister, mother, friend. Before the disease took hold, she was fun, energetic, successful, and fiercely independent. I am so grateful that I got the chance to tell her that I loved her, one last time. Her influence in my life over the last 25 years has shaped the person I am today.
When I first came here to SR, I didn't have a clue just how powerful and dangerous this disease is. I thought it was easy - just quit drinking - and go on with your life. Today I understand.
Rest in peace now, my friend. And my prayers to all of you out there tonight, fighting the battle of your life. May you learn a lesson from this - and not take your days for granted.
