I Need a Little Ray of Sunshine

I came home this afternoon to an utterly devastated husband. The company he just got laid off from February 24th told him he was not qualified for a job very similar to the job he was doing when that job was unceremoniously eliminated (along with 339 other peoples' jobs. He had pinned all his hopes on this position and now he's like a deflated balloon at the bottom of the Pit of Despair. I have no clue how to lift his spirits up- he is totally unreceptive and blocking us out tonight while he tries to deal with this rejection.

I know how frustrated he is trying to find a new job. He doesn't want to listen to my advice to look a hundred miles outside of his comfort zone. There is nothing that holds us here but his fear of the unknown. I can't get him to get over that. His entire family has this same issue, deep roots and a fear of moving on.

I just don't know what to do- except write to cope with my own frustration over this whole thing.

I need a little ray of sunshine...
