I started a new job just to pay the bills. It is not a place I will stay at long and I can search for a new job in the mornings. I have another interview for a job that pays quite a bit more but the job is 8-5 m-f and when would I ever get to look for a job in my own profession? I am feeling so ungrounded, sad, and frightened. I feel unmoored. I lost my support group, I am moving from job to job, no one gives a damn about me, my dog will have died 2 years ago June 10 and no one cares --they really don't care. They talk about their dogs and once I even started crying but no one asks me about my dog. I am so sad my God it makes me cry right now. I am worried about money even more when my annuities run out in 2 and a half years. I have to have a good job in my profession.

I am alone, my dog died, I am worried about money, I have no groundings in a job, no friends beyond those at the job. I am scared. Feeling so scared and sad. Can anybody relate?

Not sure what your profession is...but I have interviewed people over breakfast, lunch, and dinner and on weekends. So there may be opportunities to still look and have a bit more money...

Your dog and you must have been very close as it appears you are still greiving...have you had a chance to talk to someone about your loss?

when my dog died, i found online support groups to be extremely helpful to me. you can create a memorial and no on ever says "it's just a dog/cat" to you.........good luck, pat

Robyn,
I can totally relate to feeling adrift...my parents died when I was a kid and I've been adrift since then. I'm in people's lives but they aren't in mine...that's how it feels.

I'm so sorry about the death of your dog...we adopted a small dog from a rescue a couple months ago, they just climb into your hearts, don't they?

I love the idea of some online greiving support for that loss, have you thought about that? online can be so much more supportive than inr, although I'll be the first to admit I don't understand it.

I have tried grief support groups but nothing really lessens the sadness. My bond with Beau was just SO STRONG it permeates my life. It is not something that can really be effected much by "grief work". It is just a very large LOVE in my life.
