I’m sorry for your loss.

I read somewhere once that grief feels like a ball in a box with a button. At first, the ball is almost the same size as the box, it’s pushing the grief button all the time. Over time, the box gets bigger, but the ball will always be bouncing around, and no matter how big the box gets, every once in a while it’ll hit the button and you’ll feel it.

Add to that something Craig Ferguson said talking to Bob Saget about their fathers passing: “It’s my grief and I’ll deal with it my way.”

If you’re feeling still and empty, then, yes, that is normal. It’s your grief, and you have the right to deal with it your way. Be the rock for your family, order takeout when you’re hungry, lie down and close your eyes when you need a minute.

I wish you all the best.

What kind of liability are you looking to limit? Would something like errors and omissions insurance or some other policy provide enough protection, at least to get you started?

My background is a little scattered, but may appeal to someone looking for “not-just-a-dev”. I’ve a background in web development with PHP, project management (for residential property development), business analysis (in sports), and marketing (for real estate). I’m also a bookkeeper well versed in Canadian sales tax and payroll, GAAP, and a bit of IFRS (have not done much public corporation accounting).

I’m open to any interesting projects. Particular interest in projects involving collecting, compiling, and reporting back in an accessible way: fintech, accounting, event ticketing, etc.
