And yet layoffs are rippling across the country with devastating consequences. There are. however, emotional and practical survival strategies for those faced with a layoff. The shock of losing ones job is worse for some than for others, said Mary Doty, director of the Counseling Center at Utah State University. People like to think of the world as a safe place, she said. When you lose your job, it no longer feels safe. People often feel overwhelmed and vulnerable. For some people, its the loss of a job. For others, its loss of a professional identity or career. And losing your job feels very primal because its connected to survival. Buying food and paying for the roof over your head is about survival. There are two phases of grieving, according to Doty. Faced with loss, individuals may initially feel numb. Then, there is a need to feel the loss. dignity. He has t. two sets of fatigues, he washes one and wears the other. He keeps his canteens full and his feet dry. He sometimes forgets to brush his teeth, but never to clean his rifle. He can cook his own meals, mend his own clothes, and fix his own hurts. If youre thirsty, hell share his water with you; if you are hungry, his food. Hell even split his ammunition with you in the midst of battle when you run low. He has learned to use his hands like weapons and weapons like they were his hands. He can save your life or take it, because that is his When your world has been shaken up, its OK to acknowledge.

Grieving has to run its course, and one may need to express their feelings repeatedly for a while, until its time to move on, she said. Fellow counselor Mark Nafziger agreed. If people arent dealing with the emu- tional aspect, they the problem-solvin- cant get to g said. aspect, Sometimes people cant eat, Nafziger said. They sleep.

Individuals can get stuck in the anger and it will end up hurting them, she cautioned. Anger is one of many behavior patterns that can lead to serious depression, Doty said.

If youre struggling emotionally, its good to go and talk to someone, stud Nafziger. A good friend or family member can be very helpful.
