Prayers needed

Like I said in my previous post, I am super proud of my husband for his 2 year sobriety. I say this again because I received a horrible call from my work BFF tonight.  She found her estranged husband dead this afternoon at his office.  Please pray for her and her 2 teenage children.  Pray that they are comforted in this awful time.

L and I hit it off immediately when I met her in Aruba at my first Sartorius sales meeting.  We bonded on the beautiful beach sipping cocktails and gossiping.  The surface work friendship really went deeper than that. I found out that our home lives were very similar.  Both of us have alcoholics for husbands, and both of our husbands own their own businesses.  I really felt a bond with her that I can not really explain.  She got me and I got her and to us things made sense.  I know that I am really blessed that once J decided to quit drinking, he was done.  L's husband on the other hand was not as lucky. I know he was in and our of rehab. I know L just had no idea how to even help him anymore.  L decided it was in her best interest to finally end their marriage just recently.  I know things were going to get rough before they got better.

However, I was not expecting the phone call I received tonight.  She had not heard from him in a few days, so she decided to go by his office.  She found him dead there.  He was cold, so she has no idea when he died or how he did. We guess he drank himself to death.  I feel helpless and I had not idea what to say to comfort her in her time of need.  Please pray for her and her family. I know this is not going to be an easy road ahead for her and her children.
