The fight to stay sober after the person you love most dies | The Fix: Her absence is felt every waking moment but I miss grandma the most around 9 p.m.Every night for the past 11 years, that’s when I would call her to talk about her day, my day and anything else that came to mind. Even when I was drinking, and sometimes when I was thoroughly under the influence, I still called. In 11 years, I might have missed 10 nights, and when that happened, I’d call her first thing the next day to apologize and catch up on the previous day’s events.
