Job Loss Support Group #2
Are you coping with the loss of your job?
You are not alone!
Or maybe a better question is: Are you NOT coping with the loss of a job? Losing
your job can be one of the most devastating personal experiences in life. Many of us closely
identify ourselves by what we do for a living. When the job is taken away, it is normal to feel
overwhelmed, disoriented, or just plain scared.
You are allowed to feel bad, to grieve. Grief is a healing process that is just as vital as
physical healing from injury. Dealing with your grief is a necessary step that can help you
regain your emotional balance. We’re here to help!
Sponsored by Lutheran Family Services of Virginia and a gift from Augusta Health Foundation and United Way of Greater Augusta.
