I started to write this in response to someone else's journal entry... then I decided I didn't want to add to her pain... so I'm dumping it here...

I didn't keep it together... and I'm still not... wish I could but I can't... and things just keep falling... often you wish... I lost my job this week... I know its my own fault... I begged my boss to at least keep me for 2 or 3 months on the payroll on sick leave while I get counseling... but he said he can't... its a business decision... sorry to dump on you... I've tried and there's just no more try in me...

Oh sweetie, I\'ve been where you are. The \"boss\" not only let me go but I had to leave in a most humiliating manner - walking past my co-workers with escort during a weekly meeting. their \"understanding\" had worn out and more than that, I was told on another occasion that God\'s compassion had run out.

Don\'t believe the lies. It is most certainly their loss and shows their short-sightedness.

I know right now my words don\'t help. This whole situation sucks and I know that. Just know that you aren\'t alone and I\'m thinking of you and praying for you all the time.

Call me if you want to talk. I think you still have my number. If not, let me know.

Hugs, lots
Alice
