I'm dealing with one pesky ailment or another. The latest is horrible eyestrain so I have trouble wearing my contact lenses. My eye exam a couple months ago showed everything normal.
So I remembered my dad used to read obituaries to make himself feel good that he had outlived people younger than him. I started reading and the opioid epidemic hit me. Young man after young man - 20's or 30's - died suddenly, died unexpectedly, died at home, no mention of employment, no mention of a medical charity for an illness in lieu of flowers, private ceremony.
It did not make me feel better.
