I just found out my uncle died.

My grandma called me about 10 minutes ago. I'm not sure how to even process that one. He was only 43 and died of complications from alcoholism. He's been through long term in-patient treatment 6 times. The garage door had been open for 3 days and a neighbor called the cops. He'd been dead in his house for 3 days.

I feel SO sorry for his 2 sons (Fr and So in college) and for my grandma-- who's had to bury a son already (my dad when he was 28).

I really didn't know him well and I feel weird that I'm really more sad for everyone else in his life than I really am for him because that's just a waste of a life. :(
 
So sorry to hear that Raina.....thoughts & prayers are with you & your family
 
so sorry raina(((((Hugs)))))
 
As I sit here I'm torn between being pissed at him for really screwing over his family and feeling sorry for him.

If your close to the 2 sons I'd try to give them some moral support because I'm sure its an awful thing to lose a father.

Sorry for the loss
 
Sorry Raina :(

If i believed ina god, i'd be praying for you and his family.
 
I feel really bad for his ex wife too because she spent about 15 years trying to get him help until their home was so unstable she had to take the kids and go.

I just feel so awful for my family. It's so sad and such a waste. That's so young for someone to die and it's so terrible that he just didn't want help even though everyone tried for so long.

That's exactly the thing. My grandmothers brother passed away from complications from alcoholism. He beat cancer but could not beat his addiction. That's what makes it so tough. I knew him well and loved him but all I felt was anger when he passed. He was barely in his fifties.
 
I feel a lot of anger towards him for everything he put his family through but I feel sorry for him too that he just couldn't beat it. Mostly I'm overwhelmed with sadness for his kids and my grandma.

some people just dont stop and look at the effects that their actions have on their family members...my uncle passed away a few years ago due to his cocaine addiction and his alcohol prob...its not a good thing to be put through...hopefully your cousins and your grandma will pull though and be ok.
 
So sorry to hear this Raina :rose:

My thoughts and prayers with you and your's

This is a pretty natural reaction for anyone who ends their own life via alcoholism/suicide. I have felt the same way about people too, and really it is their family that needs thoughts/prayers now. You'll sort out your feelings on it.

Condolences,

my uncle died last year with a bottle in his arm and a belt around his arm, it was my brother and my dad that found him. i felt angry too, my gran had a stroke and everything. infact my life is like a big soap program. just too let you know that i do kinda know how u feel.i kinda made me feel empy, or like what a waste of a life.he was 41, and drank him self to death, also mixed with drugs. sorry to hear about ur loss, give me a pm if u want too talk.

Tiny :heart:
