Dear T and E:

I feel like no one understands how devastating this loss is for me. Right now, I do not want to hear about how my situation is only temporary, that this can be a good opportunity for change, or that I might be able to go back to my old position.

Right now I want to cry at the loss of being with my kids all day. Talking to their parents. Having fun with co-workers. Just enjoying my environment. Not everyone can say they like going to work every day, but I did. Then it got ripped away from me from something out of my control.

This hurts. A lot.
