Devastating. Waking up one morning and finding yourself out of work when you’re over the age of 50 is nothing short of devastating. There is a flood of emotions that you feeling that is nothing less than overwhelming. Fear. Anxiety. Insecurity. Bewilderment. Self-pity. Hate. (Yes, some even feel hate for their former employers.) Those emotions come at you like you’re being pelted by a band of ruffians. And just like that gang attack – it hurts.
