Dh came home this evening with the news that he has been fired made redundant. Along with about 15 others. Dh is 59. I am a SAHM but at 46 & having not been employed since my pregnancy with ds 6 yrs ago, am unlikely to find work, even though I have tried (not very hard, tbh). At first I felt shock, a feeling of unreality & then very brave. Maybe for the sake of dh, who's gutted but is trying not to show it. And for the sake of the dc. I now feel literally sick. My heart's pounding & I'm dizzy & nauseated. Terrifying. I don't know what to do, what will happen, how we'll cope, whether our marriage can survive... our parents, the children, other family, friends... what will they say? Dh was earning a healthy salary £60K+. But his pension is dismal. I'm so frightened - please help, those who've experienced this! Thanks.

Wobblies gone temporariy, thanks to lovemaking, Xanax & glass of white wine, in that order.

Maybe this is the way to cope?
