This. My DH went through this, and he is the most positive guy I have ever met, self starter, works like crazy, loves being around people. But being let go during a reorganization messed with his head. It was like he questioned everything about what he believed about himself. I wanted him to use a career coach, but we really didn't have the money we could spare on that. So I attempted to tough love him when he continued work on the resume, working on investments, working on all kinds of things that ultimately wasn't about going out and finding another job. Also, a big part of this is he didn't want to go to his network to say he was looking.

I'm not sure we would have gotten through it had we not had a very solid foundation going into it. And even then it was a huge stress. He had to find a way to reinvent himself. Now, on the other side, he sees what was going on.

What was also interesting to me is that he has always been my biggest support during my much more turbulent career. He always had the right thing to say when I needed to hear it, or had something not work out. He was a giant cheerleader to me. So it was a surprise that he couldn't do it for himself. [/quote]
