I am hear if you want to chat.
You know, I worked very hard for many years and had big plans for my career. That now is gone. I was working to get my bachelors degree. That money is done the drain, a very large chunk I might add. That is so depressing.
I want you all to know that I know that I am not the only one with crushed dreams. I am sorry for the whinning. I usually am together but right now am in many pieces to which don't seem to want to go back together right now.
Keep the replies coming because it may trigger some ideas or make me go "OH Yea! I didn't think about that!". More heads are better than mine right now!

I like to refer to this info on grief & loss. The stages Kubler-Ross identified are:
Denial (this isn't happening to me!)
Anger (why is this happening to me?)
Bargaining (I promise I'll be a better person if...)
Depression (I don't care anymore)
Acceptance (I'm ready for whatever comes)
(You can google the above for more complete info.)
Another great tool to survive our many losses is "How to survive the loss of a love". It has alot of good info about loss & is an easy read. Not sure who the author is.
Of course, when any mental & emotional pain turn toward thoughts of harming oneself, please reach out to your family or a professional. (Or us!)
You all will be in my thoughts & prayers...
Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you; not as the world gives dO I give to you. Let not you hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid....JOHN 14:27
