> While I don’t think most people would ever find themselves in a similar situation (I certainly hope not),

I'm not sure what the author means by this. Sad though it may be, most people will experience their dad dieing.

And inheriting control of a company sounds like a 1%'er problem if I ever heard one.

What is OP wishing to spare the rest of us from, exactly?



I know exactly what the author meant by that. He meant losing a parent at a young age. It doesn't happen to most people.


I think he meant "inheriting a company in a sector you know nothing about".


The difference is that usualy after a few days you resume your normal life. In this case, he was constantly reminded about his father death.


It'd definitely not something I can relate to. My parents will leave me nothing, and have spent most of their life taking from me.
