My dad just died. I'm visiting my mom tomorrow (they were separated, both live a few hours away from me). But right now, after getting the news, I feel devastated. He was recovering from alcoholism (runs in that side of the family). The last time I visited him (October) he seemed to be doing wonderful and we had a great time. I had been really busy the past two months so I hadn't called him since early January but was planning on calling him next week, after finishing some work this weekend, to arrange a trip to visit him again this spring. How can I cope these feelings? I feel like I am partly responsible-- I was never hard enough on him for his drinking, and I always tried to believe him when he'd say he was done, despite family members warning me he was probably back at it. I should've called *way* more often. Goddamn it hurts so much

my uncle died some years ago the same. I really liked him and he took care of me when i was little. You are already coping and idk if the feelings will ever go away. In the end it doesn t matter *what if* , it happened already. It s sad , life can get very dark just embrace the feeling , it s much better than nothing. Cope with music , do or find stuff u like , read a book. There s a utuber that i like which gives nice insights : actualized.org ( a bald guy giving insight on various life topics in case u are bored)
