"She started drinking again two weeks before she died and she refused to take her medication. I knew from experience that trying to stop her would make her worse."Heartbroken Steve added: "I feel absolutely lost. I didn't know how to help Vicky when she was alive, and I certainly don't know how to carry on now she has gone." Source: Daily Star
