Although I know that there are bigger losses in one's life than your job, it's still a shock when it happens. In my case, I suspected it was coming since many changes had already occurred and I was sure more were on the horizon. Still, this was much sooner than I had anticipated and like a death, never quite prepared.
The supportive friends and relatives will tell me it's for the best and a "new day will dawn", "there's a light at the end of the tunnel", "think positive and don't look back", etc, etc, etc. It's not just my personal loss but a loss for all those in my department and right now, I'm sad, I'm mad and I'm depressed just as much for them. They all had hopes, made plans and thought they had finally found their work home and family. Now, we are all forced to choose different paths that will mean a lot of change, again.
Unfortunately, it's a fact of life and in the words of one of my favorite Sugarland songs...
"Ain't no rhyme or reason
No complicated meaning
Ain't no need to over think it
Let go, laughing
Life don't go quite like you planned it
We try so hard to understand it
The irrefutable, indisputable fact is
Pshhhhh, it happens!"
