Really sad, please do not get upset in gambling investment. Simple, take it as easy game not worthy than your life...
How sad that he didn't fight for his emotions. He lost his opportunity to experience life to the fullest. I know it is really hard to lose such huge amount in gambling. But we can still had a chance to go up, realize some better things and slowly withdrawn from the gambling addiction. If addiction within himself can't be controlled anymore, there is nothing wrong to seek help and advice from God and from medical practitioner.
Honestly, gambling ruined his family and his whole life. To be eager to get back what he lose, he went again to gamble. Same scenario of a typical gambler who experienced big wins and after that, a big loses. Hope this will serve as a lesson to everyone here like me who gamble a lot.
