    I'm so sorry you're going through this. We have dealt with this in the past and I know how heart-wrenching it is. I'll be thinking good thoughts for you and wishing you and your family the best in this scary time.

    Thank you, all, for your kind words. I feel terrible because I am so dissapointed but I know he feels even worse. He's being overly attentive, etc even though he's the one with the loss. I think I just need to process this.

    I'm so sorry. I was hoping he would have a severance package. So sorry that he got laid off as a teacher. I look up to teachers. They do so much but don't get paid enough. Is it hard to get into a substitute teaching? Hope he finds something.

    I'm sorry. I hope something better is right around the corner!

    You are so amazing to be thinking of how your dh will react to your sadness/disappointment. It affects you too, so you definitely have the right to be worried and upset, but I just wanted to say you are very unselfish to not let it escalate or make him worry even more.

    Oh no!! I'm sorry to hear this! Never a good time to be unemployed, but really really disappointing when it derails buying a great house. Fingers crossed for a great opportunity around the corner.

    Sorry for the bad news and the bad timing of it!! What a bummer. Dh was laid off the week after Dd's first bday. Was unemployed for five months, got a job and then got fired a month later. It was rough but you will survive

    Oh no. So very sorry you had to take this blow when you were ready for the house. You'll get through it together and come out the other side, maybe even with a better gig for your DH. We're thinking of you!

    @simplyfelicity: I'm glad to hear. Yes, there will be, but that doesn't mean you can't be sad over it. Hopefully, he can find something soon, and you can get back in your feet!

    @simplyfelicity: I'm so sorry to read this! DH lost his job while I was on maternity leave with DS1, so I totally feel your pain. I hope he can find something soon! Hugs!!!

    @LovelyPlum: I just saw your question! Yes, he has until the end of the school year. He was SO close to tenure (the first day of your third year.)

    @simplyfelicity: blargh. Well, at least you have some time to plan. And it sucks, because school hiring doesnt usually start for a while, at least around here. Here's to hoping some other school wants him very badly!

    Just a an update, DH has an interview for a job tomorrow! It pays better (not hugely, we are teachers after all ), has better benefits and is more in line with the type of teaching environment he would prefer. Please send some good luck vibes!

    @simplyfelicity: sending good luck vibes! I was just wondering a few days ago what was happening with you guys after some family conversations about school hirings & contract stuff recently.
