Lose 10 pounds! Lose your friends! Lose your grip on reality! This and much more can be yours if you file bankruptcy. There are rules. Oh yes, there are rules according to the courts and the lawyers. However, in figuring out how to survive it, there are no rules and not much support.
The experience is a bleak no man's land of anxiety, uncertainty and devastation, the likes of which you can only hope to never experience. I know there are people who are going through worse things and I try to keep some perspective on our lot in life right now, but it is a brutal trip you don't want to take unless you have no other option.
We are in the middle or late middle of this journey, having filed a Small Business Chapter 11 almost a year ago. It's a little like being strapped in a car that you have run off a cliff, with the hopes that you've gunned the engine enough to make it to the other side. But you're not sure where you are over that cliff and how hard the landing will be. Or if you will fall right out of the sky into the depths, far from comfort and far from home.
