My job was eliminated a few months ago. I've had a couple great opportunities that didn't come through. Had a couple contract gigs that I started, and for pre-existing reasons were cancelled within my first week. I went from two locked-in options and two contract backups to nothing in a 6 week period.

I'm fortunate that I had surgery to fix a major long-standing medical problem early last year, and I am beyond grateful that the surgery was successful and was done under my then-employer's insurance.

At the moment I'm struggling to mentally recover from the four lost options and to get traction on restarting the search. I have been through this before, and God has always put me in a better place. I'm trying to stay positive, but could really use this community's support.
