I lost my job yesterday. I don’t want to discuss details. My wife is still sick. If the stress doesn’t kill my wife, then not being able to afford her medicine because I don’t provide adequate health insurance for her will. I don’t know what to do. May God have mercy.
 
In addition to what you are going to do, contact the clinic or doctors office(s) and ask if they have a care coordinator; if they are part of a Health System there may be emergency funds available; check Needy Meds which list medications for which manufacturers have assistance.

Will offer a prayer for your job search
 
I’ll do all this. But the real problem is that I always fail at anything worth having or keeping.

If you don’t stop thinking like this, it will be a self-fulfilling prophecy.

You need to quit going on like Charlie Brown and start saying positive affirmations 10 times a day, then tell Jesus you’re going to put this in his hands and ask him to help you, then go out and take care of business.

We’ve all lost jobs. I personally have lost 3 jobs and quit 2 jobs and had one expire due to term limit. My mother probably lost twice as many jobs and quit about the same number of jobs. The healthy thing to do is not take it personally and just go get another job.

Are you in the US? If you are, you have had a life event that makes you eligible to shop for healthcare under the Affordable Care Act. visit healthcare.gov to apply.

Get another job, fast food, retail like WalMart are always hiring.
 
I haven’t actually lost my job yet. The facility revoked security clearance but my employer is a third party. I can’t report to work. My supervisor said an investigation was ongoing and for me to wait without working until he notified me. This proverbial limbo is worse almost than an actual termination.
 
I’d suggest speaking to someone at the EEOC or an attorney. I would not think that your employer is allowed to keep you from seeking another job, unless there is an employment contract, or something. Have you gone to apply for temporary unemployment? COBRA for your insurance?
 
I already filed, though I would rather be able to go from one job to than trying to find a job while unemployed
 
I’m very sorry for your situation.
Please try not to be too hard on self. Everyday, people can lose job when business goes bankrupt, business is bad and can no longer afford pay employees etc.

If feel it has to do with yourself, you can honour your wife better by improving yourself, become better at job or as person etc…
Be open to look at self with honesty etc:)
Maybe your employer has some course you can do to help?
This “positive action” is best option:)

Do you have Medicare in your country to help cover the costs of your wife’s medication or perhaps there is a charity that could help with this while you are out of work?

Praying for your job situation to be resolved and praying for your wife to be able to get her medication as needed.

This.

I work in construction. Projects do not last forever. When the job is done, most the time people get laid off. I have found myself out of work and looking maybe 5 times since I got in this industry. My longest job has been 2.5 years so far. Although my current job is projected to last 9 more years since i got in on the start of the job. But at the end of those 9 years i will be looking for work again.

Prayers said. Good luck and God bless

I already have one interview next week.
The job won’t be the easiest one, but it beats no job

Well, best of luck with this job. Remember, as your wife is handicapped, she will not have to go without necessary doctor visits or medication. Call ‘social services’. But, hoping you won’t need to.

I have heard, from a moderately reliable source, that probation is becoming more used in criminal cases, so, I imagine that a necessary ‘evil’ is they don’t need as many in-Prison staff. So, you may want to work on your other skills, maybe discover new talents. In short, this may be a ‘blessing in disguise’.

Please, don’t let this get you down. Continue being the husband and father you know you can be. God Bless!
