I was really touched reading Debt destroyed my family by Samantha Downes in The Guardian (June 9)
She gives a first person account of how the purchase of an Inn by her parents in the 90's brought a personal and financial disaster.
We can be too proud or too blind to admit that pursuing 'dreams' in our work can lead to nightmares.
The main lesson she learned from her painful experience is that "one of the hardest things is admitting that you have problems but once you do, there's nothing that can't be overcome".
The same could be said for companies that encounter problems and fail to acknowledge them.
In this type of situation (as we do when dealing with the death of a loved one) we go through a few phases, denial, sense of loss, grieving and return of hope.
