Good luck and sorry the working days are over. Hope SSDI comes through without a hitch. Volunteer work is very rewarding. There are also some at home jobs you can do to supplement (like answering the phone), if you can do that.

Sounds like they are helping in a huge way by keeping the insurance for you! That is a BIG deal!!

sorry to hear this Kelly but I am sure everything will work out for the best... just another road for you to follow.

You'll be fine, Kell~ Your attitude will carry you through this. I procrastinated forever about whether or not to quit work. That was in Oct of 06 and I haven't looked back.

I do miss the people though. Volunteering ia such a generous act. Keep us posted.

Well, I'm pleased in the way your company is handling you! Best of luck on your 'retirement.'

Volunteerism does wonders for the soul! I wish you the best of luck!!!

Hello Kelly,
I apologise that I just saw this. I'm sure you're a tad frightened, but it sounds as if your company is going to make this an easy transformation for you. I went from full-time to part-time recently, and worry about how long they are going to let me work on a part-time basis.

On the bright side, perhaps we can meet for lunch one of these days.

GOOD LUCK!

All the best to you,
Chris

I've just done the same thing Kelly. After working for 40 years, I applied for and was granted SSDI, and that helps some with the finances. My DH also is on a pension now so money's very tight, but neither of us will be going back to work due to health reasons.

I've only had 7 months without work, where-as DH has been off for 4 years, so while I'm still enjoying the luxury....he gets bored and feels worthless at times.

Maybe the volunteer work that you mentioned, might be the way for you to go if you think you'll miss being active. You certainly seem to have the right attitude, and I commend you for that.

Good luck Kel, I wish you well.

Kelly, I can't add anything to all the great advice you already received. I think when one door closes, a better one opens up.
