Brian's Den

Hello, friends. I’m writing this entry from sort of a cathartic place. If you haven’t heard, I was one of the 240+ people laid off from my company back in January, but my “separation date” is actually this coming Sunday. This meaning I have technically been an employee of my place of work, but I haven’t been actively working per our separation agreement. It comes with a standard severance package, and we’ll be continuing our medical coverage through COBRA. What some don’t know is that a few weeks after this happened, my wife was diagnosed with Stage 1 breast cancer. To make that story short, the doctors who treated her were amazing and were able to remove all of the tumor and found nothing else had been affected. All she’ll need is radiation treatment which will start in a week or so.
