As a recovering alcoholic, (44 years sober) I have to tell you that grief-or anything else-can be a catalyst back to the bottle unless WE (The alcoholic) don't allow that to happen.
God grant me the Serenity
To Accept the things I cannot change
The Courage to change the things I can
The Wisdom to know the difference.

Re:
Thanks Jay. It is always helpful to know others have gone through difficult times and come through on the other side. Congratulations on being clean 8 years. That is truly a miracle - I am beginning to understand just how difficult it is.

I think you are right Kabu-finality is a hard thing to swallow.

Being an addict myself, 8 years clean, I feel for your husband and for you and all I can do is offer my prayers for your family, but I have a feeling with all the love you show in your posts for your family that this family will pull through just fine in time. Be blessed.

I find that we grieve in different ways at different timelines.

tamijo,
Oh, Honey...I am so, so sad and sorry to read of your loss. Please know I will keep your family in my thoughts and prayers. As my Grandmummy kabu says, just hold on to your husband when he cries. Right now, that's the best gift of comfort you could give him.
Much love and prayers for comfort and peace to you all. Shalom.

just hold him when he cries. He will come through this, I guess that he
held it in too long and then Mother's day he realized the fact that she is never coming back. Crying is good.as is seeing his sponser and going to meetings.

Hi .. It's sad when we are grieving and know that a loved one needs to draw strength from you. I will say a heartfelt prayer for your husband and hope his tears will lessen in a short time. He is blessed to have your love and understanding!
