[QUOTE="Star*, post: 120407, member: 4964"] Trinity, I don't know if I'm sorry or not. And before anyone throws sticks - hear me out first. Your sister in law spent most of her life - dying. She did not spend it living. I think the sad part about anyone that is an addict of any kind is that they lack what some of us have, a gift we take for granted - being able to say no. So maybe in a way I'm glad that she's gone because now she is able to live. For the first time in 40 some years - she'll actually know what it is like to have a life. She won't hurt, she won't say ugly things to anyone ever again. If anyone here on earth could have given her the gift of sobriety - they would have moved mountains. She gotten her gift - it's just that none of you could give it to her. So in dying, she actually gets to live. Finally. How bitter of a road she must have journeyed, how awful it must have been for her to have to exist every day miserable, and unwilling or unable to do a thing about it. And how ugly her insides must have been to berate a young man who thought the world of her. I would tell your son that we are all responsible for our actions. I know she made your son cry. But he should be thankful, because the very last thing she did for him was teach him a lesson about how not to behave. And how words CAN do damage. Without knowing it - she's left him with a very great gift. So in her dying - I know you mourn the loss. But praise the life that she's finally getting to live. It's been a long, long road for her.
