Can an alcoholic die in a hospice.

[RebelliousHoping]

Hello,

Sorry for the morbid subject.

I’m just curious as a beloved person/male angel has been on my mind recently who passed during Covid. They were there during my first adult surgery and have come through on a clairvoyant evening. In the lead up to Easter this year how dates fell it would have been their birthday so I went to church for them Easter Sunday as it felt fitting.

Does anyone know if an alcoholic always dies in hospital or can they end their days in a hospice. (it was 2021 time and a time of year when Covid was back on the peak, wasn’t a sudden death and I contributed into the hospice cause their relative was doing shortly afterwards)

Thank you xx

Yes they can, however getting a hospice place is really difficult which is why most pass away in hospital. Hope that answers your question x

Anyone can die in a hospice. They're not just for people with cancer.

Thank you x

I remember I’m going back absolutely many years now when Mark in Eastenders partner died of aids that was in a hospice but I know that is just telly so thought it may have been possible.

I’m unsure what you are asking here - you know the person was an alcoholic and you know they died in a hospice?

also, alcoholics don’t always die in either place, it would be far more common for someone to die of alcoholism outwith a medical setting.

Yes, of course, you can also be an alcoholic but die of something else too.

Thank you, yes that had dawned on me. Family didn’t give cause at time and to be fair I never wanted to know, telling myself it was likely Covid19 on top of something else untreatable.

It’s only lately appreciating it’s feels like men are so much likely to pass then women due to A. Like when you hear of women remaining sober for say 6 months to couple of years to get a transplant, but men can spend many years proving soberness and their luck never change.

Sorry I appreciate this is way over the top, they had a hard, colourful life passing at 50 and I need to park it under being glad to have met them and our paths crossing.
