Hi Lisa, I am sorry to hear about your job, yours is the 4th I have heard of this week in similar circumstances(my son included) my friends DIL went to work last week to find they were locked out-after 20yrs there and she knew nothing. With regard to CEO I haven't really any advice(after being asked why I was still on this BB after so many years) but I will say I am sure your big heart will think of something. Just be his friend as well as you can. He may appear self sufficient but we all need that someone to lean on from time to time. A touch of the hand an arm around the shoulder, a hug. We all need the human touch. Maybe he is not your H but he has been kinder to you these past months than the genuine article. Is this another link in the chain being broken or the forging of a new chain being made. Life it seems is full of the unexpected so go with the flow and be open to all possibilities. It really does no good to look too long at the closed door. Some seem to believe that they will work it out in their head and heart, the reason's the were's and why fore's. They will be the one to know the answer. I hope they post it one day for the thousands of us that never found an answer and learnt to accept that it just is. Love dies but tears water our soul and from that springs hope and new life,reach out and embrace all those possibilities. I wish you hope in your heart for all your tomorrows. Also maybe reach out and touch the hand of CEO---just a suggestion.
