Sorry you're going through this. The uncertainty is where the stress comes

from. Not knowing your financial future. Hopefully, you have worked enough to qualify for unemployment benefits to help curb the initial sting. The good news is EVERYONE is hiring. It may not be your dream job.. but if you want to work, I promise you there is work out there.

Good luck.
