I heard the song "For The First Time" by The Script on the radio this morning and really listened to the lyrics for the first time (ha!) and started to cry.
Where was this song 3 years ago when Chris got laid off?!?!?
It just hit so close to home and I thought about his struggle and ours as a couple and how great it would have been to have this song then, dangit!
It really explains the loss of identity and the difficulty in your personal life.
We struggled so hard, we still are on some level, and this song is like a beacon of "It gets better/ You're not alone"

Anyway, so here are the lyrics if you've not paid attention before...
For The First Time by The Script
She's all laid up in bed with a broken heart
While I'm drinking Jack all alone at my local bar and we don't know
how
How we got into this mad situation, only doing things out of frustration
Trying to make it work, but, man these times are hard
She needs me now but I can't seem to find the time
I got a new job on the unemployment line and we don't know how
How we got into this mess, is it God's test? Someone help us 'cause
we're doing our best
Trying to make things work but these times are hard
But we're gonna stop by drinking cheap bottles of wine
Sit talking up all night, saying things we haven't for a while, a while,
yeah
We're smiling but we're close to tears, even after all these years
We just now got the feeling that we're meeting for the first time
She's in line at the *dole with her head held high
While I just lost my job but didn't lose my pride, and we both know how
How we're gonna make it work when it hurts, when you pick yourself
up you get kicked to the dirt
Tryin to make it work, but, man, these times are hard
But we're gonna start by drinking our cheap bottles of wine
Sit talking up all night, doing things we haven't in a while, a while
yeah
We're smiling but we're close to tears, even after all these years
We just now got the feeling that we're meeting for the first time
For the first time
Oh, for the first time
Yeah, for the first time
We just now got the feeling that we're meeting for the first time
Oh these times are hard, yeah, they're making us crazy
Don't give up on me, baby
Oh these times are hard, yeah, they're making us crazy
Don't give up on me, baby
Oh these times are hard, yeah, they're making us crazy
Don't give up on me, baby
Oh these time are hard, yeah, they're making us crazy
Don't give up on me, baby
*I googled "dole" thinking the lyrics were wrong but apparently it's the unemployment line in Ireland
