Singdaw, I got laid off my last newspaper job a few years back and felt like something had been snuffed out in my life. I was at a very low ebb, probably because I define myself too much by my work. It took months before some venues opened to me. Some were lousy, but filled with good lessons. Others were mixed blessings. And there were a few outright wonders.
Throughout, there were great friends, including my HHW family, and a good deal of prayers that helped see me through.
When the time is right, it will happen for you. And until then, your family is here for you.
