without reading all comments. when one gives their life and career and somehow loses it, its pretty devastating. my sister was/is a dentist who owned her own practice by 30. she later broke her wrist. she was never as productive after and hired an associate. then she eventually filed a claim under her insurance and now is a sahm and very active w local politics and her children's PTA but constantly arguing w her husband and is, I believe, bored.
Also a coworker of mine is a custodian. he was previously a physical therapist who also owned his own practice. he got a dui and lost everything... his wife, home, practice, and career. he tried to get his license back but gave up as it required this program that cost thousands a month and he had to be available 24/7 to test. he said it had a very low rate of success and he ran out of money.
my point is this loss can be very depressing for a super accomplished person who worked so hard for it.
