I am so sorry you are going through this very hard time. I wish I was there to give you a hug.
About your job,have you tried the temp jobs? It really is
scary not knowing when you"ll have a job.

I could not find a job either, I am also a single female, although, I do have my family close by. I worked 2 yrs off
and on working as a temp. 2 jobs were temp to hire but I
had to quit. The jobs were definitely not for me. I bet you are
wondering how I had the nerve to quit with no income coming in. The great news is that I get a small pension
and I had saved enough money to get by.

I still was very depressed and yes the holidays are tough
with or without a job.I hope someone else can give you some advice as to how to get some money coming in.

God Bless and please take care.
