I so identify with what you are going through. My husband lost his job of 35 years four months ago. NO prospects in sight. Too young to retire. It really sucks that so many of us have worked hard and done the right thing all our lives and the great recession is punishing many who want to work, but there are no opportunities.
It is hard not to feel bitter, when I see those who are career welfare recipients more comfortable than us. We watch every penny we spend, and fear losing much if work doesn't come soon.
My heart is with all of us who are caught in this awful financial trap!

My husband was laid off also with no notice. Went in to work one day and was told they were laying him off. I can tell you that it has been 2 yrs now and all of our needs have been met. Maybe not all our wants. We have everything we need though. Just turn all your worries over to the Lord and trust him. Life is good.
