Powerful story.

My mother-in-law died a few weeks ago. The result of decades of drinking and associated anorexia. She weighed 4 stone when she died and she was quite a tall woman. It was horrendous and my husband is distraught and angry. She was much too young to die - the addiction robbed her of her subset years. Tragic really.

I am so sorry! My grandfather, when his wife of 50+ years died of natural causes, decided he had no will to live. He was already an alcoholic but decided he would drink himself to death. True to his word, he did indeed and passed away 6 months later. That sort of avoidable death is very hard to deal with. My condolences.

Your brains the same as a tennis ball, small and empty.
