My husband got laid off about a year ago...he was fortunate to find a job quickly but he had to settle for a long commute, lower wages, and no benefits. His spirit was really broken for a while and he felt like a failure. His feelings got better with time. The initial shock of it was the worst...he was blindsided by the layoff. After the shock wore off, he took the first job he found. While I don't recommend that for everyone, just working again and knowing that he was "hireable" helped him find the strength to continue looking for a job that was a better fit for him. He is still with that same company while job hunting. I am so sorry that this happened to you, wishing you good luck!
