Actually, the Story leaves the game very open ended... And its a reasonable one too.
Let's be honest here, he spent a whole year walking back to his apartment, finding his family in a matter of days would kinda be unrealistic and it also leaves a nice space for a sequel. Maybe someday. Even if he dies in the end, so what?
He somehow must have reached his daughter/wife so what happens in between? How does he die? You're basically only judging the game by your lack of imagination of what could happen next.
