Did that stop them from hoping? No. You'll get to that point.
I know, I think I'm just shooting the bull with you guys right now, and I'm just playing devils advocate.
So, the difference is
-you don't choose to get cancer. Or rather, someone doesn't have the power to choose cancer on you.
-you can't control if you'll be laid off from a job. But everyone has to work to live, you have no choice, marriage is optional.
Likewise, I don't think I'd compare getting laid off to an unexpected divorce of a long time marriage with children. Getting laid off is tough but it's not that bad.
