It’s been quite a while, I was away from mylot. I lost my job, then I lost my mom. After which my life took the worst turn it could and then in six month’s I lost my younger brother to organ failure. It has been a year and a half or his death. Been two years for my mom’s and lost my job too . I am still taking time to get back to my normal self.
But, things are not easy now. With no job, a rent to pay and bills on piles, it’s so hard to wake up everyday and look forward. I remembered I have a community on Mylot, so I logged in today. I don’t even know if my old friends still work here.
Well, I know I can no longer get a job here in my city. Because the age limit is 37 and I am 39 almost ending it. I spend my day worrying and struggling to find online work. How is everyone keeping up?

Oh, what a hard time you have had. Your Mom, your brother, and your job. I am so sorry to read of that. The loss of people we love is life changing, I know. I hope you can find the work you need very soon.

So sorry for everything you been through, losing your mom and your brother so close together is just so much for one person to carry. Glad you came back to mylot though, hope you find some peace and maybe some online work leads here too. Sending you strength, you're not alone in this.

I'm so sorry you've had to face so much in such a short time. Losing your mom and your younger brother while also dealing with losing your job and financial worries must have been incredibly difficult. I'm glad you remembered MyLot and decided to come back. I've been here for 19 years now, and one thing I've noticed is that people may disappear for a while, but there are often familiar faces still around when we return. I hope reconnecting here gives you some company while you're going through this difficult period. And I hope you find an online work opportunity that suits you soon. Take things one day at a time and keep looking for possibilities.

losing dear ones and twice in a year is so heavy for a person and i'm truly sorry. i'm 39,5, still applying for jobs cause, jobs i worked are only for a certain time so, yes, i feel the age thing a lot.before, it was not enough experience and now this. also, i hear politicians saying here we will work until 67, not 65 and i'm scared will i last until then.but, there are some little things in life that helps me to recover, i feel. i recently visited a library after so many years and i borrowed some good books so, that't a plus for me, in this week. i wish you will have more ups from now on.
