Laid Off~ Trouble

Okay...I'm sitting here shaking..DH just called and said that he has been laid off! He is on his way home now..The company is laying off tons of ppl, here in columbus and in Dallas TX...Richard and 3 other guys were told this morning...DH has gotten a good severence package so he feels okay about that but now is the unknown...We are confident that DH can pick up another good paying job..It's just that we are not sure where this will be yet..Out of state or here...We have to let my truck go and MAYBE sell HOSS..My heart will break if we do..He's just a good ole pasture horse....

I'll know more details later when he gets home and we can really talk.

I know I'm Rambling..I'm Sorry...I'll be missing for a few days as we get a better idea of the future.

Heather,
I'm so very sorry to hear your bad news. Hang in there. It's hard to say what will really happen but don't worry too much about it right now.

A few months ago both my FIL and step-FIL lost their jobs due to the company they worked for was closing. Jer's step father had worked the same job for 33 years, the only job he had ever had. Both found new jobs quite fast. Jer's step father is again laid off but he's looking into taking classes to get his CDL's and starting a new career shortly. Both seem to be in better spirits than I could have ever imagined a few months ago. You just never know.

Hugs!

I am so sorry to hear this. My own dh has been changed to another shift but at this point, retains his job, with a reduction in pay. We will all get through this with the help of our families and friends and alot of prayer. I will be praying for your family. Godspeed.

I'm so sorry to hear that. My DH has heard he will be laid off for a couple of months this winter, and he won't get any severance. We have also talked about getting rid of our horse just to cut down on bills. We will be praying for you!

Hey Heather; I am so so sorry to hear the your DH has been laid off. I will be praying for the Lord to open a door soon, and he will. Last May my Hubby was laid off and he finally found a job a few months ago, we kept our faith in the Lord and he saw us through as he will for you. God Bless and have now fear the Lord is with you....

Hugs;

heather, set back and take a deep breath.

dont sell the horse. get on freecycle and ask for some feed. you will get it. you can also check with your local animal shelters.. i know around here they offer feed( southeast ohio) for other animals besides cats and dogs.
next, on your truck., do you have insurance? check the insurance co. and loan co. payments might be covered while he is out of work. he is eligible for unemployment?

p.s. where was he working??
p.s.s email me if you want to chat. :)

I am so sorry to hear about the lay-off. Keep in mind that sometimes a door closes so another can open, and hang in there. We're all thinking of you! Let us know if there's anything we can do.
