Lost my job of 20 years in 2007. Been trying to survive on seasonal and rare contract work while I watch what's left of my career die a slow death. Can't afford to replace all my ancient stuff (car, appliances, mattress, etc.) that was starting to wear out before I got laid off. Lost 2 of 3 cats since then. Mom suffering from neurological complications of breast cancer, and no longer resembles the person that was my mom. Can't afford to visit. Her care is wearing out my dad, although now my sisters are around to give him a hand. A good friend was just diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Haven't seen a doctor myself in over 6 years, which is just as well. He/she would probably harp on me for all the weight I gained from stress eating, as if I wasn't aware of it already.
This, too, shall pass. Or, so they say.
