Welcome to the group! I created this group because when I started to contemplate filing bankruptcy, I couldn't find the support system I so desperately wanted or needed. I also told only a few people about the bankruptcy - and I will talk about that in a later thread. The few I did tell were supportive, but not in the way I wanted or needed them to. There is so much guilt and shame that goes along with bankruptcy. I felt like I was on an emotional rollercoaster in the time leading up to actually filing for the bankruptcy. I felt so alone, so lost. I felt like a massive failure and I kept it all to myself. All the secrecy, the guilt, the shame - it literally made me sick. And that's why I am writing this now. I have so much more healing to do and in my own journey and process, I want to help others who are over the age of 50 and contemplating filing bankruptcy. I can help walk you through the process from beginning and create a new approach to life that is peaceful and abundant without the guilt and shame. I'm so glad you are here! Please take a moment to let me know where you are logging in from and welcome your new friends. We're all here to share, learn, and prosper!
