Hardship has hit us.. with no warning

[Karen]

If you are seriously concerned about the insurance, see if he is eligible for COBRA insurance, which extends coverage (at some cost to you, but still) beyond termination of employemnt.

It's a rotten time, feels like a gut-punch, but you will get through it.

In our prayers ...

I'm so very sorry to hear your husband lost his good job. It must be frightening in these times with so few jobs available.

My best advise is to go online and register to various job databases - simply sit down every day and see what there is - and perhaps contact some Temp. Bureaus too.

We'll keep fingers and paws crossed that he'll find another job soon. Best of luck!!

[dukedogsmom]

That is so horrible! I can't imagine how he feels. The corporate world plays so dirty. I hope that he finds something even better and soon! Let those sweet dogs of yours make you both feel better. Keep in touch with us and we'll do our best to cheer you up. Try not to think about the "what ifs" I know it's hard but it'll just get you down and make it worse.

Everyone is right...it's a shame there's nothing we can do to stop this from happening. Especially when you put so many years into a company just to be thrown out!
I hope your hubby finds something WAY better & enjoys it too!
Leave it to the good ol' pets to take comfort in!!!!!!
My thoughts are with you & your family!!!!!

[kimlovescats]

What a horrible thing for you both! Try to keep your Faith, as I am sure that something unseen is waiting for you just around the corner! (HUGS)

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Prayers on the way from me too.
I went through the same thing after my company folded. I had been there 20 years. Look into unemployment benefits and also see if there is a job placement program in your area.
I know it's frightening but things will work out the way they are supposed to.

{{{HUGS}}}} I was in his place last October. Its frightening & a blow to the ego at the same time. But I have chosen to look at this as the opportunity to do something different and learn new things about life and myself. Just because change happens to you doesn't mean you can't make it work to your advantage. I did not find another job, but I also never looked! I'm starting my own business. Some days I wonder where money will come, then the next day I land a major project! With my husband's support, I'm making it work! Can your husband use his expertise to start a consutation company? You can make some seriously good money doing it. You'd just need to do some research on insurance for yourself.

God lets things like this happen for a reason. You just know know what that reason is right now. You'll be in my thoughts and prayers.

Oh Jess!!! I'm so, so sorry for you and David. What a devastating blow It's so hard to understand sometime why such things happen to such good people. As hard as it is right now, try and have faith and stay positive, for David's sake. After a day or two, I'm sure he'll be able to think more clearly about where to go from here. I wish I could say or do something to help you Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers Jess. And bless dear, sweet Tasha for comforting her Daddy. You're right, animals are such amazing heart healers. HUGS...Sandra, Cody and Star

[catland]

I wish you both the best of luck and hope that this works out in the long run.

take care.

[My Peanuts]

Jessica, this must be a lot of stress for both of you. Try to stay positive that something will come along soon. I'll pray that everything will be ok.

[ChrisH]

Oh, Jessica, that's awful. You and David will be in my thoughts and prayers.

[zippy-kat]

My thoughts, prayers, and positive thoughts are with ya! {{hugs}}

[BCBlondie]

Aww I'm so sorry you both have to go through something like this. My dad got fired from his job a couple years ago and it scared my whole family (there's 5 of us). Luckily, he got hired by someone else in the same building and now he's happier with his new job.

I believe that things always happen for a reason, so keep your chins up as things WILL get better!
** hugs **

[Kfamr]

Oh no Jessica.

Thinking of you guys, and hoping he finds something good, soon.
