That's horrible I'm really sorry about that. The ambulance should have taken him if he wasn't in a good state of mind. Hospitals these days...ugh. I'm so sorry that your child died, that's devastating. If you need to talk you can message me.

I am so sorry for your losses! These are the times i absolutely hate this disease for it takes our loved ones. I will keep you in my prayers.

many times when ever i talk about any thing , i first ask myself : What is it that i am able to give in the way of experience. I am 39 years old and my dad died at the age of 62 it hit me very hard. i was not at all sober at the time . my Mom she died when i was 2 years sober she died of Cancer, she fought that terrible disease for 4 years and a true example. being sober for me gave me a more spiritual set of glasses. but then you wrote about your baby, i truly have no words because i have not been through that. i hear how people have made through times that i could not imagine. you having the courage to share is an incredible amount . and i hope that you and yours find what it is that allows growth , i am so truly sorry.

I"m so sorry for your loss. My father died a little over a month ago. Although alcoholism wasn't the reason he was in the hospital to begin with, it was the reason he died. His liver was bleeding (from cirrhosis that had been getting prgressively worse for years) and he died from a massive bleed out due to this. Please talk to me, maybe we can offer one another some comfort, because this is something that no one seems to be able to understand. I"m a 24 year old female.

wow!! how heartbreaking. You'll be in my thouht and my prayers. If you need to talk I once lost a child aslo.. I know how bad it hurts. Godbless

hi all, sorry for the time its took me to reply, its pretty hard getting time to myself on the comp..lol

But i just wanted to say thankyou for all your kind words, its a great comfort to know that your not alone,although wish it could be under better circumstances.

i know in many ways im very lucky and everyone has had terrible things happen to them, so im grateful that you have taken the time to write to me, and hope that i may be able to help some of you, hopefully the worst for me is over, and i know a few of you may have some bad times to come, so i will be there for you also when you need comfort, as i know now that talking about it helps so much more than keeping things bottled up.

so again thankyou so much and i hope to keep in touch with a few of you.

Loretta youve been through such a tragic chain of events. The fact that you are reaching out for support shows that you are a strong powerful young woman. If you need to talk Im here for you sweety. My mom is where your dad was and I know the feeling of helplessness that comes with this situation. In my Prayers, Chicky

Sorry about your loss I am lossing my father right now due to his drinking.

i'm sorry for all of that but i don't see that as dying from alcoholism more from a broken heart he just took to liquor to get out of it.

I am an alcoholic,I lost my uncle to alcoholism,i've almost died from it myself,what ive learned if someone doesnt want help you cant help them. sorry to hear about your loss. take care of yourself.

oh loretta i am very sorry you and your family and friends and loved ones had to experience this. life is a bitter-sweet symphony.i am praying for. i believe there is an experience and a reason in every situation and event in our lives and if we are patient and look for it someday some sense may be made out of it. you must be a very strong person. i too losta baby and i lost my beloved Dad a few years as i took of him. he had lung cancer. take care and God bless you. brenda

i am here for you!

Oh sweetie I went through the same thing with the ambulance 6 months before my mom died we tried to get her into the hospital and they would not take her!!!!!!!! I am so angry about that!!! She died June 19 2005 and I miss her every day.

Wow, somebody had to dig deep for this post, it's almost a year old.
If you're still around Loretta I know what you're going thru. Last year I lost my mother to this disease, it was an awful way to watch her go. In 2000 I gave birth to a beautiful baby boy, 10 fingers, 10 toes no heartbeat; it was 19 days b4 his due date.
