I'm so so sorry to hear that Mike.
I know that feeling...too well...
I've gone the route of self employed myself and well, everyday is a struggle. I pick up side jobs at a car shop or I clean places, but this is my passion and I'll never stop.
Keep your chin up and promote yourself.
Email me off the list to let me know your skill set and maybe I can hook you up with some of my previous clients.
Have a great day and go get a beer, you deserve it.
Cheers.
