What made your day a crap one??

Ferrum said:
Every day for the last few weeks has been a crap one after my wife and partner for 54 years suddenly found she had a terminal illness, and died within a month. The ultimate crap day of my entire life will be on the occasion of her funeral tomorrow.
I'll decide after then whether to shave off the beard I've grown, but it'll be a "pretend normal" for the rest of my days, for sure.

I'm so sorry to hear of your wife's death, I cannot imagine the huge hole that has been left in your life.
54 year's of memorys, 54 year's of a loving relationship coming to a sudden end cannot be something that you can recover from easily and when it happens in such a short space of time there is no time to even try get your head around it.
The more I write the more I am at a loss for words.
I genuinely feel heartfelt sorrow for you and hope that you have a good support system around you to help you through this massive upheaval in your life.
Please know that you are a much respected member of this community and I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say please get in touch via PM or on the mental health section if you need to offload or just talk to anyone of us.
My sincere condolences.

Paul.
 
Not been the best day for me today, I found out my friends husband/ kinda neighbour died Christmas eve night.
He had Leukemia diagnosed early in the year and finally got home for Christmas that day and I wished them all a great Christmas for it all to change a few hours later.
I feel really bad for his young children that had a shocking last image of him and I don't think Christmas will ever be the same for them. I can't imagine what they are going through right now. Surprised just how much it's hit me tbh, he was such a nice guy. My life is actually quite blessed and when I might feel otherwise, I don't have to look far to see just how lucky I am.

It's always rough when you get canned but as you said it's due to financial cuts so try not to take it personally.
I'm sure you will get a good reference from your employer it's not like you've been sacked and I'm sure you can find a job even if it's not what you want to do long term, it shows any future employer you have a good work ethic and finding employment when you have a job is actually easier than if you've been out of work for some time.
Try and stay positive, it's not your fault your employer is streamlining.
Good luck with finding gainful employment.

Thanks.
Ive kinda been expecting it but the reality of it is still a shock (work for local authority).
But what I do is quite a unique role, and there is no one to replace me once I leave, which is going to affect foster carers and children in foster care.

Yes it's a real shame that these cutbacks will really affect those who really need as much help as they can get, I could go into a big rant about public spending but I must keep on the right side of TSR rules and not get political!
You keep your chin up and don't despair, I'm sure you will find a stopgap job until something more permanent happens along.
