Honestly, as someone who has been through loss, the father's situation was something that resonated with me. It was very close to home and when reading the way he copped with rage and alcohol aswell as detouring his priorities to not face with the pain of hid bad choices made me cry. I had something similar but instead of resurrection (lol) i wanted to die everyday, i tried holding on for my family but when i was told to stop and to "be rational" my resolve just turned into "i'll just do it in secret i guess" and even after years it was only when my therapist told me "It's alright to be sad, just make sure to text me for next week" did i finally felt like i was understood and someone was waiting for me when i was ready to move on, a huge toll got off my shoulders. I wasn't crazy i was just destroyed by grief and that i belive is accurate in the portrayal. You don't need to be made "happy" just need someone that understands the loss and can help you remember the good stuff of the people you love
