Yesterday I lost my Job. I'm 62 and Devastated
Yesterday I lost my job due to "realignment". I got the "it's not you, it's me" speech. To add insult to injury I got a 2 weeks severance in exchange for helping one of my (former) co-workers transition into my role. To say I'm devastated is an understatement. I'm not rich and don't have much put away. I can't afford to retire. My mom passed away 4 months ago yesterday, and all I want to do is call her. This morning, first thing, I applied for unemployment, then revamped my resume. Honestly though, I just want to pull the covers over my head. How do I handle this? Who is going to hire me at my age? Have you gone through this? How did you handle it? Thank you
