Loss of Job
Oh, how I know about grief over a loss of job. It all came back to me when a friend came over. She unloaded her pain about a betrayal that forced her to put in her resignation. I have gone through a similar experience.
The worst part for her was a lack of respect. That hurt more than anything else. We desire to be valued and appreciated. Being respected is important. Because she is a woman, she was not given the chance to have input in future plans for the company. The male members of the staff did not give her the chance to be a part of the solution. She was filling in a leadership position temporarily, actually three positions. I can attest that she has tremendous gifts and talents and was an asset to the group.
We cried together and prayed together. We forgave those who had hurt her. It will be a long time before she works through all of the “shrapnel” of the hurt, but she’s on her way. In this economy, there must be many of you who are grieving over lack of a job. May you be able to forgive, if there is any need, and be healed from your wounds. May you go forth into a good future!
