Messages Of Support

Moms are very important, and we have all had one at one time or another. I have not ever felt like keeping a job as long as your mom has kept hers. I do see frequently that senior employees are let go so that newer people can come in and work at half the price, never mind the lack of experience. Your mom needs to remember that she is worth a great deal to you and others whether she has a job or not.

Hi Janey and Janey's mom. I too know what it's like to loose a job, and I know at times it feels like the end of the world, but without honestly it is not. Actually loosing my job was the best thing for me. It opened my eyes to many new wonderful possibilities and I was able to achieve a lot I never had time to do whilst I was working. Then I was able to get not only an offer for my old job back but I got a completly different better opportunity. So Janey's mom keep your head up and be proud somethign even better will come along.

No problem Janey. You Mum is more than welcome to join in and if she is hesitant to actually type; that's what daughters are for! I can understand her sense of loss and upset. Put all that behind you Mum. Life's an adventure and there's lots more exploring to do. If you enjoy being with children I wonder if you have thought of reading with children? Visit your local library (whilst it still exists!) and see what volunteering opportunities there are. In the meantime, let Janey entertain you - another use for daughters!!

Not a problem. We are your friend so we are her friend as well. Hello mom. Listen, don;t get so caught up with loosing the job. I have had jobs and lost jobs in my life, I got over all of them. You cannot have an emotional tie to any job. Remember, a job is just a job. Companies today do not care about us, we are just numbers to them. They are only concerned about their bottom line. Enjoy being with your daughter and enjoy us here at MyLot. You know, you should learn the computer, my mother has a computer and she is on it all the time. She loves it. She has her own FaceBook page and everything. Momma, don't cry, everything will be alright. Ask your daughter to cook one of her wonderful meals, eat, sit back watch a good movie. Time heals all wounds. Have a wonderful night Janey and mom.

Janey's Mom~ You are in my thoughts and prayers. Try to keep your chin up even though it is tough. I am sorry you are hurting and I hope and pray things get better soon. Losing a job is not easy. My mom lost a job recently that she really enjoyed. Unfortunately she was laid off and she cried all the time as well. She loved it there and it broke her heart and mine to see her so sad. I kept praying for her and she is happy again, thank God. Prayers go a long way and since I don't know of any other way to help or make you feel better I will pray for you. =) Stay as positive as you possibly can. You have family around that loves and cares about you no matter what! Good Luck and Here is a Hug Too.

Hey Janey's Mum, I do feel for you but dont be sad,instead rejoice because as 1 door closes another 1 opens,and Im sure you will find another job given time,but thinking of you and even tho I dont know you Im sending Hugssss your way, Keep Smilin :)

I honestly don't think that is against the rules here. I know how your mom feels. I have been through this kind of thing also. I do believe everything happens for a reason though. When it happened to me, better things for me followed soon after. I know it is hard to go through something like that but try to stay strong because maybe that job was not worth your time anyway. Move on to better things because people like you, deserve it.

It is of course easier said than done. Please convey my regards to your mom.Be optimistic. Nothing is going to turn into utter turmoil. Belief in God must help in this instance. GOD never lets you off...when He closes a door,He will definitely be opening a window. Hence rejoice...do not let yourself be disheartened.

Hi Janey, Let your mum know that she has my support in any way I can give. For now, what I can say is as a Zen practitioner and that I have learned through my practice that life is about change, and that nothing is permanent. If we can embrace the changes that we don't like, allow it to wash over us, allowing any tears or sadness to manifest without trying to force ourselves to be strong, then strength will follow as we adapt to the changes we are going through. Knowing that friends and family can acknowledge us by recognizing what we are going through, can be a great comfort to us. I wish you and your mum all the very best. Yesterday has gone, tomorrow isn't yet. What we have is this moment that is constantly becoming the past. If we focus on this moment and see it passing, we can realize that it's not so bad! _Derek

this is for your mum, hello I don't know how old you are, but i am in my 60's , i lost my job when i was in my 50's and i ended up with 4 part time jobs, working 48 hours a week plus and was very demoralised. I now have a full time job,(mm still working , should be thinking of retiring now!) but i got the job by being in the right place at the right time. But dear friend, please think positive, you have a lovely daughter who loves you very much and obviously the mylot community will be sending you kind messages. I am so sorry you are sad, all i can say that i am sending you a big hug from me and all my family. i am also sorry i have only just picked this message up too. hope you see it ok

I must confess that I haven't been following Janey's threads / discussions on this issue, but I'm mostly offline this weekend, so thought it best to give this one a priority above all else! My own discussions will just have to go unanswered for quite a time, as well as leaving trillions of dollars worth of surveys to 'time out', but 'oh well'! Sorry that I can't really empathize, because I've had the same job for the last fourteen years or more & can't see myself losing it anytime soon. I don't doubt that Janey's mum (what is her name, please?) has put everything into her job, possibly initiated several projects or implemented a number of ideas & made good suggestions & now someone else will end up taking all the credit. It must be hard to bear such a major life change & I wish her every blessing that she may be able to draw upon her life's experiences to make good of the situation she now finds herself in. I wish her courage & good fortune in whatever path she chooses or has available to her & pray she makes the very best of it!

Janey's Mum: I am very moved by your daughter's filial affection.She turns to mylotters for help in order to let you be out of the shadow of losing job.I have had a little understanding of your situation from Janey's discussions and heartily sympathize with you.I am also a retired worker,so I'm quite aware of how you feels.However,everyone must retire from work , only early or late.But then,granted that we may live to be 80 even 100,but there is no need for us to work until we are old and infirm, we ought to spend our remaining years in happiness.I still say that there is nothing like health. Take good care of yourself !
