I hear ya! Financially, it's tough, but it doesn't sound like they're giving you an option. I know you want to make it work, but it sounds like a done deal to me. Financially, it can be tough and I've been there. I usually, when something like this happens and the panic sets in, will sit down and work out my budget. Write it down on paper - exactly what's coming in and exactly what's going out (without that source of income). I usually feel better after I do that as typically, there's enough to go around, though I have to spread it a little more thin for a while. It's just nice to see it on paper, to see where your belt could be tightened a bit.
