I've been wanting to write a series on what I have been learning since I was retrenched in December 2008, so I think it's a good time to start the series before more months pass by.
Whilst I chose to take the first 3 months off especially over the Christmas and New Year period, it was always in my mind as to how I would cope emotionally, spiritually and mentally. I knew if I were to be retrenched it was mainly going to be a season of learning to trust God with different parts of my life, ones that I hadn't covered or delved into more deeply before.
A psychologist once told me some of the most stressful things in life include losing a loved one, illness, not having a home and losing your job.
For me, losing my job affected me in more ways than I had originally thought - spiritually, mentally, emotionally and physically...the whole lot.
When I've spoken to old colleagues who were also retrenched, the word 'rollercoaster' comes up alot. That's certainly what it has been for me - a rollercoaster of ups and downs and often times feeling like I have chronic PMS!
