Colleen;
My DW has been out of work for a little over 1 year now.
She has went back to school and still no luck on the job front. We are doing ok financially because I work 2 jobs.
I don't know how old you are but my DW is 53 and i think we are facing age discrimination. I am trying to get her a job at my work but, it may not happen until Feburary if at all.

Is there anything you can sell? Perhaps online selling.
Can you make anything and sell it at craft shows?
My point to you is this, stay positive and network with others.
Let the world, so to speak, know that you are looking for work. Tell your DH to forget being loyal, look for other opportunities or, create some. Don't ever give up. It may take some time but, things will get better.

I have been homeless 2x in my life. My DW and kids were with me. We stayed in a campground whiIe I went out on day jobs, temporaraily. It was tough but, we used our good thought to make it work. I remember those days and they are not fond memories. You can make it through this. Feel free to PM me if I can help you in any way.

Eric
