Can't sleep as my neice is so ill

She isn't much different in age to me as mum had me late in life. She has 3 kids, the youngest being 3 and she's v ill with pancreatitis (sp?) It's her 3rd bout caused by drinking. I spoke to my brother last night and he sounded desperate
I'm going to visit her this afternoon. I just hope she'll get some urgent help. She said in hospital that she can't imagine never drinking again even after going through this agony. That's how strong the hold is over her. She's such a beautiful person, inside and out. I can't believe she's suffering so and feel so frustrated.

cheers yurtgirl, it is awful. I'm not looking forward to seeing her tbh as I'll be fighting back the tears.

Juniper, hope today brings better news. I'm sure you are dreading the visit but your neice will be so glad to see you. Just take her some flowers and give her a big hug -that will do for now...

It's an awful situation isn't it. Her poor little kiddies... hope she gets the help she needs

Thanks, I will take her some flowers as she can't eat at the moment so fruit and chocs are out.
