Thanks, everyone. Yes, Dee, I have lots of people to talk about. As far as drinking, I only have a couple, but they are good people and one of them (my husband) is always around and incredibly supportive. And I have a large family / friend group to reach out to regarding my dad. In fact, that's one of the burdens in a situation like this, there are so many people to call / calling for updates! It's extra exhausting, but luckily my husband and friends have been helpful getting the word around to the people that need to know.
I'm very lucky to have this time with my dad and I'm trying to take advantage of it. Doesn't make it hurt any less. Luckily I am far too emotional to even think about drinking, although when I poured him a small sip of whiskey yesterday, he couldn't finish it and it was very tempting to finish it for him. Luckily my mom asked for it, so I didn't have to worry. Close call, maybe, though.
