To me, this song isn't about experiencing the death of a loved one, but of simply experiencing depression. She says that the dishes don't care if she wakes late, soaks in the bathtub for an unnecessary amount of time or that she leaves the bed unmade. She's simply saying that she feels lonely and unneeded.
She says that, "when the drink goes in, the devil comes out. Day's go by, still the past don't seem so far." She is haunted by her past which the alcohol is causing her to think about.
She eventually calls out to God in her loneliness (Oh, my God!) but feeling abandoned and hearing no reply, simply replies to herself, "Oh, you're gone..."
