Sorry to hear of your situation skchevota, but I STRONGLY second timcos comments about Dave Ramsey. I work for a company that had two partners, one very much a mentor figure, the other pretty much just occupies space. The mentor partner came down with ALS and unfortunately doesn't have much more time with us. This really brought my life into perspective and I realized that without debt and with a little bit of an Emergency Fund...you have options.
I realize that's not much help for today, but keep your head up, keep looking for something and take some odd jobs until something comes along. Once you get back on your feet, check out

It'll change your way of life...if you work at it. It did for my family.
Good luck
