Both are young, ages 40 and 42, and both are dying from liver failure due to alcoholism.
The 40 year old also needs a new kidney and they put her in an induced coma. She was turned down for a transplant.
The 42 year old also has wernicke’s syndrome from the alcohol abuse. She no longer knows what’s going on around her. She’s 100% delusional.
It’s so sad. They’re so young

I guess the reason is that he/she is an alcoholic?

That’s tough @LilyoftheValley . Sorry you’re dealing with this right now. Hopefully, no matter how small that hope may be, hopefully things work out. My sister-in-law died in the ICU yesterday. She was a pretty terrible person, but her family (and my wife to a much smaller degree) has been really upset about it, so I empathize. I think it can be hard to say goodbye to people whom we’ve had a difficult relationship with nonetheless.

Sorry to hear about that @LilyoftheValley . I have lost three friends to booze and drugs myself. It’s not an easy thing to watch.
Stay well and take care of yourself through all of this

That could easily have been me.
When I went to AA I thought alcohol was worth dying for. I just got lucky with AA and they helped.
