This Sunday times article talks about how an end of a job due to redundancy or forced resignation (perhaps retirement too?), can be like the end of a relationship. There needs to be time to grieve however, unlike a relationship often finical issues mean can not have a break.
One of the tips in the article is to switch industries so not, constantly comparing old and new job. Per my earlier post, it can be a good time for a sabbatical.
It also talks about not letting work define you by finding things to increase self worth outside of work. I know losing a job, you have put heart and soul into can be detrimental to self worth.

No matter how grumpy we are on Monday morning, we’d really miss our job if it weren’t there anymore! I can so understand this!

Definitely being made redundant took away so much of my self worth 🙂
