Sorry for your loss. I know where you are, it feels like I am hanging on by a thread. Stay strong.

About death, Billy Bob Thornton talking about his little brothers death so listen I to it every few days. I have it on speed dial bookmarked on my phone. Beautiful and devastating and true.

Basically that he’s learned to be ok with never being fully happy again because that’s how he honors him.

Watch out, you might cry at this one because I always do. Thinking of you kel, you chicken wing breathe former air traffic controller.

I cannot figure out how to do direct YouTube links.

Keep pushing. Take the sadness and meld it with conviction.

Everyday your here is one they are not. There is such potential for you, one they would want. They never would want you to slow down or give up.

Seriously do something they would be proud of you for. Achieve it and in that moment thank them. Its their indirect gift to you.

That’s all I got. I lost my life friend and little brother to suicide. They taught me so much in losing them. I have struggled for years, but now I see what they would have wanted from me. A strong, kind, adventurous, loving person who can enjoy every moment

My mental health, normally very high, has taken a big slide with recent news from the U.S.

This subhuman I work for is a monster to everyone and I am constantly walking younger guys off the ledge. One guy had a jammer.

I have no other job to go to and now won’t even get EI but zero is better than 6 feet under. Also we aren’t paying bills at work and a lot of people mad at me as a rep.

It sounds like you feel loyal (or possibly just trapped) by this company, but it's also likely time to get out of there. If they are unable to pay bills, then it's only a matter of time until they are unable to pay salaries.

It's also always easier to find a job when you are still employed vs. when you've lost your job. I'd start sending out resumes. That alone could make you feel better about your situation.
