Addiction to Alcohol/Losing my father to alcoholism

Advertisement


Question
I just want to add to my previous question that - I rang my father every day after the paramedics had been & spoke to him a few times, my previous question sounds like i didn't ring for a few weeks. But this particular time my father was not answering his phone for a few days -  which did happen alot, but i just knew something was seriously wrong. I had a horrible feeling never felt before? He had only passed away the same day my uncle found him.

Answer
Take courage Kelly and pray hard for your father's soul. Forgive him for his mistakes and in turn forgive yourself.  You will feel a lot better when you say the Serenity Prayer whenever you feel down:

"God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference."

God bless and lots of peace and happiness
