Today was a pretty bad day. I found out that my department at work is merging with another and they no longer need my position. So, I am out of a job just like that. They are giving me 2 weeks pay, plus 4 weeks severance, which doesn't give me a ton of time, but is better than nothing. My income is over half of our family income, so it is very scary. It is just so shocking and still doesn't feel real. My family is being very supportive and I know we will get through this. I spoke to a recruiter today and she has a job that sounds very exciting and I think I would be a really good fit for it. So, if you wouldn't mind saying a prayer for me, I would really appreciate it.

I'm sorry. I can imagine all of the questions and "what ifs" that are running through your head right now.
I know that it's hard to see at this point, but many many times situations like this work out for the better in the long run. I'm praying that that is the case for you.
I'm praying that you soon find a position that is a good fit for you and your family and that you LOVE!

I am so sorry. 6 weeks is not a lot of time to focus and deal with the large shock. Good for you for immediately speaking with a recruiter. I will keep my fingers crossed that this is the job for you!!

I hope you find something quickly. I am dealing with something similar. I have a little time (probably a couple more weeks) to find another position but the problem is that due to other things going on at the company, there are almost no positions available. I did get word yesterday that a group I interviewed with, probably the only possibility of not getting laid off, wants to bring me on board. But, I think they have to jump through some hoops to be able to do it. I was hoping to hear something definite yesterday so I would know one way or the other. The waiting is stressful.

I'm sorry. Being jobless is so stressful and scary! I hope your job search goes well -- and remember, if you don't get it, it's not you, it's just math!! (More applicants than positions).

This makes me so mad for you, how can they kick you to the curb with no notice and very little severance. I'm so sorry you're dealing with this. You are in my thoughts
