Alcohol intolerance killed my x girlfriend

Posted by jonnyboy @jonnyboy, Mar 26 2:20pm

I came down with Covid from going to some fair out side with my x girlfriend well she told me she heard ringing in her ears, and I started feeling pins and needles on my whole back, I pretty much stopped hanging out with her for a year or two but I heard she died from liver failure… when I left her she was drinking a bottle a day to herself, and then I read about alcohol intolerance of long covid and I believe that is how she literally died. I’m sure they don’t communicate the danger in America for their liquor sales to stay at an all time high, but is this a bigger problem than anyone says? Can you have multiple side effects of long covid and if one of them is alcohol intolerance you could just drink yourself down? I’m sick of this crap I never got a chance to say goodbye…

@jonnyboy, it's hard to lose someone, even someone we're no longer in touch with. You have many unanswered questions about why and what actually happened. It's natural to seek answers. They may never be fully answered unfortunately.

I'm sorry you didn't have a chance to say goodbye. How might you say goodbye or honor her in a different way?

She got cremated so there is no grave… I was thinking of a remembrance with some other friends that knew her, to bring something you remembered her by and put it in the circle and each person say a prayer. But I don’t really know any one else I dated her ten years ago just started seeing her after her boyfriend at the time died of Covid next to her in her bed. Then everything went crazy. I had symptoms of long covid around when she said she heard ringing in her ears. But lost track of time somehow and that alcohol intolerant factor just plays in my head that might have killed her. She was only 36

Like Colleen in her comment, I'm also sorry you didn't get a chance to say good-bye. Have you considered writing her a heartfelt letter in a journal or on your phone? You might say what you appreciated, and what you grieve. If paper, you might bury or burn it--find some way to release it. I know from experience that even if relationships end how important a person can Beto us. Wishing you well as you go forward.
