Loss of Job

Let's be frank here. The loss of a job, whether by your choice, or their choice is a traumatic event in your life. Even when you know it is going to happen it ranks right up there with a death in the family, marriage, newborn, buying a house or catastrophic illness. In order to pass through this phase you need to grieve. We all do it our own way. Don't overlook this important part of the job loss.
Hint-Talking about it to friends is a great start, get it out of your system.
