I lost my job

I know I am not alone to share my story. I worked as an office manager for almost ten years when I lost my job. Six months after I lost my job, the company my husband works for filed for bankruptcy. He is an engineer, so naturally, the higher paid employees get let go first. He lost his job the next day. I found a lower paying job and my husband found a great job, we were actually surprised at that. But, we once again had the rug pulled out from under us. Ten months after he started his position, that company restructured and once again he was unemployed. I know everyone says that the economy is getting better, but that isn't changing the fact together we lost THREE jobs in less than a year and a half. I am a proud person and to ask for help is embarrasing. I stepped so low as to call our local food bank to help us with some groceries. I have never felt so awful in my life. I don't like to depend on other people. But, I did not have a choice at this time.
