Just Feeling Sad & Devastated

[disneygirlatheart]

Just was reading threads for a pick me up. Bad news today. My dh just found out he will be without a job. They are closing the doors and 1900 people will be without a job in the next few months. I have been without a job for a while now also. Searching and searching with no luck. We are just beside ourselves. We have a hard road ahead, so do a lot of people in our area. That was the only job for miles and miles. People drove 50 miles one way daily to get to this job. We live in a very rural area. Looks like bankruptcy and moving is in our future and a lot of our friends also. We have so many bills to pay and kids in school. I feel for anyone who has been in this position, it is so sad and so scary!

For the day to be even worse my dh's uncle passed away this morning, and down our road 2 people out walking, a mother and daughter, got run over by a truck.

But on the bright side, we believe there is a reason for everything, so hopefully this will be one of those it happened for things to be better, even though it does not seem that way right now and probally will not for a long time.

Please send good thoughts and prayers for not only our 1900 job losses in this area, but for all over the US. Times are really hard for a lot of people. If you have a job, please hold on to it!

Wow! So sorry for your job lose, your DH's job loss and all his co-workers. I hope doors open quickly for your family.

I am so sorry for all the hardships in your life right now.

 

[mommasita]

I am so sorry. I hope things turn around quickly for you. I admire your attitude.

I know it may not seem like it, but....
when God closes a door, he opens a window...

Quite some time ago when DH has lost a job, he has always managed to find one with better pay and bennies... doesn't seem like it and might be a bit of time between but this has happened twice. Corporate America and downsizing, outsourcing, or sub contracting (which has been his case) is a very hard pill to swallow.

Keep your chin up as you seem to be...Good things will come to you!!

When I was laid off for the first time, it was by a company that felt very bad about doing it. This company brought in several employment experts including an employment counselor and this lady told us that we would likely go through a period of mourning. She said that it was normal to feel blue and kind of hopeless for a while.

I believe in the saying that when one door closes another one opens. I wish you guys well and a bit of peace too.

You are in my thoughts.

When it rains it pours huh? I too believe that when one door closes another one opens. I pray that you and your husband will be able to find better jobs and gain ten fold what ever you will have to let go of. May God bless and keep you during your hour of need.

My condolences for the lost of your DH's uncle.

And prayers go out to the woman and her daughter that were ran over

I can't imagine what you are going thru. I will keep you and your DF (dear family) in my prayers.

and if a window or another door doesn't open right away, use a sledgehammer to the nearest wall.

You have a great attitude. You WILL get through this.

I'm so sorry!!! Hopefully something more positive will come into your life. Watch for it.

First thing I'd do is broaden my search range for a job. I'm sure you were sticking "close to home" on your job search since you planned to stay in the area for your hubby's job. Now, the field is wide open. You can both start looking EVERYWHERE.

Keep your hope alive. This doesn't have to lead to bankruptcy. It may result in a big move and lots of changes, but may also lead you somewhere better.

Good Luck in your job searching and keep your chin up!!!

OP - Best of luck to you. Your msg has me wondering where you are at and where your dh worked. We are supposed to hear today whether or not we have jobs and the company I work for has about 1900 employees

[lustergirl]

I first want to tell you that I wish you both the best of luck. It is hard out there, I can't say that it has gotten better. I was laid off in Nov. 2008 and was luck enough to ger rehired (totally by chance) in Dec. 2009. It was a tough year, our house went into foreclosure, my mother got cancer, my brother went to Iraq etc. So I feel your pain and I understand.

However, keep good thoughts in your head. I was so lucky that I had a great support system in some of my cousins and close friends. It really does help.

Please keep us posted and don't stop looking, something will come up for you.
