I'm sorry for your failure. But it's a win situation for you, a costly one perhaps. For your next try you will be wiser. Any sane man reading this will be. Thank you for sharing this event. I think it must be hard to admit failures.
Better luck for the next run.
Also would you like to share more about your situation after the failure? Your economics, how you handled failure in psychological sense? Your relatives reactions etc?
I'm an eternal optimist so I don't suffer from having failed. It makes one feel alive actually.
Economically I'm wounded but still alive and healing. Without being too specific I am 10s of thousands in debt because of my failed startup but not all is lost. There is a lot of reusable code and designs for the second time around =)
My family and friends understood when I told them what had happened. I have pointed them to this article actually.
Better luck for the next run.

If it's rude to ask i'm really sorry.
