"-you don't choose to get cancer. Or rather, someone doesn't have the power to choose cancer on you."

The point is that like your sitch, it's not something that's in your control. But what is, is how you choose to confront the issue.

"-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."

Not really. Look how many homeless guys there are. Work is optional also.

"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."

Maybe in your profession or what you do, but I know many people who are living paycheck to paycheck. If they were laid off, they'd be living in their car with their kids.

Thing is you can go round and round debating what things are worse or not as worse as a D, and you can choose to stay on that merry go round if you want and live in fear. The ones who heal are the ones who get off and start a new path.
