Coping With Job Loss

Losing a job can be one of the most devastating personal crises of a lifetime. Unemployment, divorce, and the death of a loved one are considered to be the most stressful and potentially debilitating events that an individual ever experiences. Although financial decline is a serious issue, the blow to one's ego is even more difficult to face. The losses include:

Loss of self-esteem
Loss of daily routine
Loss of purposeful activity
Loss of income
Loss of predictability and sense of security.
Like any other calamitous event, however, the job loss crisis can present an opportunity for growth. Commitment and diligence are required to transform present pain into future positive outcomes. There are several emotional stages you must work through to reach the more positive frame of mind you need to re-enter the workplace. These stages of coping are necessary to achieve resolution of job loss.

Acknowledgement

The first reactions to loss are pain, fear and lowered self-esteem. Next, denial of these feelings serves to cushion the discomfort temporarily. Acknowledging these feelings can be a helpful first step toward making efforts to cope successfully. In recognizing the need to boost self-confidence, a plan of action will mobilize your resources. You can ask friends and family for help and support. You cannot easily approach a job interview while feeling depressed, angry, bitter, discouraged or fearful. Dealing openly and honestly with appropriate persons can free up positive emotional energy for job seeking tasks. It might be helpful to talk about the circumstances and events leading up to the loss of your job with a friend, a loved one, a professional counselor or a support group. Sometimes, keeping a journal can help to put such an experience into perspective.

Ask Yourself The Following:

What actually happened to cause me to lose my job?
How did I receive news of the lay-off.?
How did I react to the news?
How long was I in that particular job?
What was my relationship with my boss, my subordinates, my colleagues?
Seeking Support and Help

It is not unusual for a person to be depressed after losing a job. The depression is temporary if you get busy and take control of your future. Don't hesitate to share what has happened to you with people you know and ask for good job leads.

Venting Anger and Resentment

Letting go of bitterness and anger is essential for resolving any personal crisis. Healthy ways of dealing with frustration include vigorous physical exercise, volunteering time for community activities, tackling postponed home tasks, etc. Running, swimming, raking, painting, and sweeping are good outlets and give you a sense of accomplishment.

Reassessment

The initial shock of a job loss may bring about "tunnel vision." All you can see are the negative aspects of your situation. Even though it was a very important source of self-esteem and income, your former job could not have offered all the things in life which are important to you. Try to make a conscious effort to think about other rewarding aspects of life which are truly of value. This is the time to reassess your strengths, weaknesses and interests if you are to gain the confidence and optimism necessary for starting over again. This may turn out to be an important turning point for positive changes.

"....so tired of Hollywood taking a true story and apparantly not finding it 'interesting' enough, and change facts to suit their vision of it."

So True.

I surfed through the program several times on my way back to others more interesting last night, but I did catch the last two minutes. It was not even close to what really happened. Instead of bright sunshine (it was in the middle of winter, for cryin' out loud!) it was dark, cold and very treacherous flying conditions. Their time on the ground was extremely limited and one of her friends had to literally pick her up and throw her on the plane or she would never have got on it.

Much, much more dramatic than the silly movie depicted.

It could be that our silence could have more of an impact on these celebs than other forms of protest. If we just don't watch, it hurts them worse than a bad review or a critical op ed piece.

Maybe people who have unrefundable Dixie Chicks tickets should either just not go or go and sit in silence. Wouldn't it be incredible if 3/4ths of the crowd just sat in silence?

Nothing like a Jewish event to celebrate a Christian holiday.

LOL. Wednesday afternoon my oldest and I tried to rent "The Ten Commandments" at the local BB. He wanted to watch it after our Seder. After telling us they didn't have it, the clerk said, "Guess you wanted it for Easter, huh?" I smiled and replied, "Well, it's a story about the Jews. There isn't a Christian in it. They didn't come along for another thousand years." He looked perplexed. :o)

APPEASEMENT-MONGERS went nuts when we suggested people might choose to boycott Susan Sarandon and other pampered stars who oppose the ousting of Saddam Hussein - but America agrees with us. The United Way just canceled a Tampa Bay speaking engagement by the actress after it got three dozen complaints from donors and others who don't like her anti-liberation stance. Sarandon - whose live-in, Tim Robbins, recently threatened the Washington Post's Lloyd Grove with violence for daring to report that Sarandon's mom is a Republican - was set to be the keynote speaker at an April 11 event sponsored by the...

AP ^ | 02-28-03
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - Actress Susan Sarandon said she was disturbed by a charity's decision to cancel her appearance at a fund-raising event because of complaints about her anti-war views. The United Way of Tampa Bay was to feature the 56-year-old actress as keynote speaker at an April 11 women's leadership event designed to inspire volunteerism in the community. But organizers this week scrapped the $75-a-plate event after the charity got three dozen complaints about Sarandon's selection. Robin Carson, chairwoman of the board of directors, said the event had the potential to become "divisive." "The focus of our whole meeting...

  Susan Sarandon's upcoming spot at a charity event in Tampa, Florida has been axed - because of an overwhelming number of complaints about her opposition to the war in Iraq. The United Way Of Tampa Bay - which raises funds for a series of good causes in the region - had lined up the Thelma And Louise star to give a talk at their April 11 event, but were concerned it would provide a means for the actress to voice her views. When invitations went out about two weeks ago, the United Way received over 30 phone calls, e-mails...

Outspoken actress Susan Sarandon has lashed out at American TV coverage of the war in Iraq - claiming viewers are being subjected to pro-US President George W. Bush propaganda. The Banger Sisters star says it wasn't until she was on location in Toronto, Canada, last winter that it became clear to her the conflict was being falsely reported in her home country. She says, "I was in Canada when this was happening and if you're outside the country you get a very different perspective on the way things are working. You get news from around the world."

Susan Sarandon is lashing out at a Florida United Way chapter for its decision to cancel her appearance at an upcoming fundraiser because of her antiwar views, calling the organization shortsighted. According to the Tampa Bay Tribune, Sarandon was to speak at the $75-a-plate luncheon in Tampa April 11 as part of an all-day United Way training session to inspire female volunteerism. It was canceled over fears by organizers that the actress was going to turn the event into a political platform to protest the war in Iraq.

From the Dixie Chicks and Martin Sheen to Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins, stars who speak out against President Bush and the war in Iraq are seeing repercussions. "There's a piling on, and we're isolating people. That's just wrong," says Kevin Costner, standing up for "courageous" Bull Durham co-stars Sarandon and Robbins. A Baseball Hall of Fame event April 26 to celebrate Bull Durham has been canceled because Sarandon and Robbins, who have been vocal in their criticism of President Bush, were to be featured.

There aren't many great movies about sports but there is one about baseball and it's called "Bull Durham." It was made in 1988 and people today still swear by it. It was funny and warm and acerbic and crazy, much like the game itself. So beloved is this film, that the Baseball Hall of Fame had a 15th anniversary celebration scheduled for it later this month at Cooperstown, N.Y. I say "had" because the event was just canceled. The reason it was canceled was because the president of the Hall of Fame, a Michigan native named Dale Petroskey, didn't like...

If you don't like Susan Sarandon, maybe you will be cheered to learn she'll be stranded in Antarctica with cancer this weekend on CBS. If you do like Sarandon, the good news is she gives a solid performance that elevates CBS' "Ice Bound: A Woman's Survival at the South Pole," an otherwise ordinary *** depiction of Dr. Jerri Nielsen's well-documented battle with breast cancer, isolation and the elements that's set for 8 p.m. Sunday on WBBM-Channel 2. So it goes for Sarandon, an increasingly polarizing figure of late, left out in the cold by some for her anti-war stances. First,...

National Baseball Hall of Fame Board of Directors has only one choice with regard to Dale Petroskey -- it must fire him. The sooner, the better. Failure to do so would be an implicit endorsement of his outrageous decision to cancel an April 26-27 Cooperstown celebration of the movie "Bull Durham" because he disagrees with the stars' political views. Please don't pretend to believe that his decision was anything but a political statement that exposed his roots in the Republican Party, which has a way of defending to the death your right to agree with its policies and positions.

I love Moses, Heston, and like the movie, but Easter should be about the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus.

It would be easy to get into a religious discussion that would probably be inappropriate for this forum. However, I personally see the movie choice of "The Ten Commandments" as enabling ABC to show religious subject matter on Easter, without telling the "Easter story" of a resurrected Savior.

Did they make Helen out to be some Xena type, macho, sword slingin' no-man-is-a-match-for-my-babe-machismo Amazon?
