My partner was found dead in his home 1st January we lived apart most of the time due to his alcohol addiction but could be sober for months at a time I spoke on phone to him every day and I know he loved me asi loved him.when sober would would be together but when the drink would kick in I couldn’t be around him the grief I feel is beyond words I let his brother take over funeral arrangements the worst thing I could have done they helped them self’s to all they wanted totally disregarding his wishes even in church no mention of me and my sons I was not going to go but decided me and mine are not invisible we attended church to say goodbye but it hurts so much

That all sounds incredibly painful. I’m so so sorry. It feels like you have been through loss twice: once, losing your partner to addiction and second, when he passed.
Grief doesn’t always bring out the best in people, I guess, and I’m sorry that you have not been treated well by your partner’s family. Do you have support around you?
