All so sad

Hello, this is my 1st post. My man, my closest friend, my darling died 4 months ago (July). In hospital with jaundice, then a coma, and died 2 weeks later of liver failure. He was a professional, kind lovely gentleman, and I know he loved me. But I didn't realise he had such a problem. He'd said (grinning) that he drank too much, but I only ever saw him with 1 glass of wine, or vodka. It seems he was a secret drunk - at least a bottle of vodka a day the doctors said. How could I not know? My head is wrecked. I can hardly function. Think I may have to leave my job, can't cope. I didn't have the chance to talk to him about it, he was in the coma before I got to the hospital. He had, I now realise, hinted a few times at things, but I didn't pick up on them. What do I do? Why didn't he try to sort it? I don't understand. I'll never be able to ask him. He never did hold me in his arms 1 last time. Please help answer my many questions. Thank you.
MLALOK...Much Love And Lots of Kisses x

My condolences, MLALOK. Welcome aboard. I agree with Anna. You might want to consider going to some Alanon meetings too.

So sorry for your loss.I had a friend die a slow death more or less the same way.I went into detax to dry out and i finaly was able to sober up and he didnt.My friend was told several times to quit drinking but he wouldnt and then one day while i ws in my basement doing some work the police came to my place and told me what had happened and that they found him dead in his apartment of a massive heart attack.Hit me like a tonne of bricks but it was a hell of a wake up call.Good luck and my heart goes out to you..
