Sorry to hear about the loss of your job(the same thing happened to me and my DH - we both worked at the same place) and while it is devastating there are other jobs out there if you want to work. I got my disability and started my quilting and my DH found another job(which may be done by the end of the year). We even had to relocate to another state, but LIFE goes on. Enjoy your free time to do what you enjoy!! Good Luck!!

I'm sorry to hear you were laid off, be extra kind yourself and your family while you find your "next career".
When a door closes, a window opens. What happened to you wasn't about you, and if you were still working, you wouldn't see the next opportunity when it comes up.
Sounds like you already have a plan to use your time well and you have a lot of support from family and all your friends in here.

Exact thing happened to me 3 weeks ago. The job I was just at took me nearly 18 months of being off to find. It was perfect and I loved what I was doing the people and the company. I only had been there since Jan and was getting things back on track when it happened again.

The company that I had been with for 10 years closed it doors in March of 2008 and relocated in Mexico. I have been in the TRA/TAA program ever since. I have 5 weeks of school left and I will graduate with a degree in Business Administration, a degree in Management and Supervision, and be 1 class from a degree in Marketing and 1 class from a degree in Accounting. My advise to you if you can afford to live on unemployment, take full advantage of the school, take as many classes as you can and maintain the highest grade point average that you possibly can. This will give you an advantage after graduation when you begin looking for a job.
