Hi, My dad died last week. He drank a lot and smoked for a few decades. The smoking seemed to directly lead to his death, and I assume the alcohol also hurt his organs and partly led to his death.
It's been an odd week. I had not had contact with my family for years, but I have reconnected to them now that he is dead. I have lots of differing emotions about his death. It's led me to think about how alcohol has influenced my family (including me not being in his life). It just seems so sad. So much lost to alcohol and abuse.
May he rest in peace now.
