This memorial is for my dear mum who passed away at the age of 63.
My mum could so often be such a wonderful person, who had a loving family and many friends. However,
this was tarnished by alcoholism. It is really sad to have to remember a person so close to you with
such negativeness but I want it to be also a warning to those people out there who have the same
problem.
My mum learnt only too late what the effects of alcohol have on a person and I would not wish it on
anybody. Mum could have been alive and well today had she only had the courage and willpower to stop
drinking. She has missed out on so much and she could have had some lovely years with her new
grandchildren. She actually did get to see her eldest grandaughter whom she loved to bits but by the
time she realised that she had this wonderful new little person to love, it was too late and she
only had two short years with her.
Mum died in the most horrific, painful way, all because of alcohol. Even doctors and nurses had to
admit that the type of end my mum encountered was horrible. I'm sure mum would have done
anything to turn the clock back in those last couple of months and we have been left with a lot of
regrets and if only's.
Please, if you have or if you know anybody who has a drink addiction, don't let it devastate a
life like it did for my mum. Try to get the help that is out there.
Missing you mum and love you loads. Give a kiss to dad for me. God bless. Tracey.xxxx

Hold your head up brave girl

Tracey, what courage you have by being so open. My mother in law drank herself to death over 10 years ago and some of her children still cannot talk about it. A terrible thing, and unfortunately a generational thing. Keep safe sweetie, for your children.
