My husband was told to resign yesterday after 15 years. He's home now and doesn't know what to do with himself. Does anybody have any advice on what to say to him in a time like this? There's a very wierd vibe in the house. Thank You.

Welcome to the board jenny7041,


I am sorry to hear about your husband. This must be very hard for him. I would just tell him that you are there for him to talk to whatever else he may need.


Good luck to both of you.

Of course he's feeling extremely rejected, hurt and bad about himself. He must also be angry. Let him you that you undrestand how he's feeling and that you love and accept him. Tell him it must be shocking, and it will take time to absorb this blow, collect himself and go forward, but he will. Give him space, confidence and acceptance. It does take time to deal with this kind of loss.
