Please bear with me because this is very difficult to put myself out there with such an emotional journey! Even at 60 years of age, I have always been a rock and able to deal with everything that was put in front of me. I have had two jobs in my adult life; one for 19 yrs.( until plant closed) and my last job for 15 yrs. I lost my last job and collected for 6 months, and finding a new job became difficult. I found work but was not happy! It was the beginning of 2016(lost my 15 yr. job 3-2015),when my things happened that rocked my world. My father was diagnosed with Altzheimers, and I had to help my mother out with their needs as my mother doesn’t drive, nor does my wife. But it was manageable. Then in March of 2016, I received that dreaded middle of the night phone call. My son was rushed to the hospital. He had tried to commit suicide and was on life support. The outcome was obvious. I had lost my son. But then 3 months to the DAY my brother and my son’s godfather(and was there for my son) committed suicide. That same call late at night came and an eerie feeling came over me I knew. He was buried on my B-day. It has taken 2 yrs. for me to finally ease the emotional pain,feelings and the depression that enveloped my life. Just two last comments; I appreciate all the support and prayers but the walk in my shoes statement fits here because just telling my story does’t truly tell the mental and physical struggles I endured,while also keeping my soberierty of 28 yrs intact. I,m close to the old me again!!! SSSSooooo how does this fit to explain my gap in employment? ( if in fact it does or in a shorter form. Help
I been out of workforce for 10 years due to going disabled and I am looking for a job I can do at home so far it's been a few interviews but they were not good.

Out of work 13 years taking care of my mom 58 years old with 6 employment agency and no response from anyone what to do even tried SSI and all of that to young for SSI and to old to be hired can't live without an income what is this world coming too
My last job I worked as an sales associate at Burlington, and I became pregnant and due to my age I was having a high risk pregnancy. I was told by my physician that I was to stop working and take care of myself. Now looking for work appears to be a bit difficult because I don't have a degree and I'm working on getting my driver's license. With that said the competition of searching for employment has become a challenge. Is there anyone that can relate?

I haven’t worked in 11 yrs ( mostly in an educational setting -clerical my last years) and not a young but a mature person, I know I have skills but some programs I haven’t used in years like excell I have forgotten how to use ! In such a competitive world it’s nerve wrecking for me !
How do I deal with a 5 year employment gap on a resume? I honestly had to take some time off from my last retail job that I had been on for 7 years to spend more time with my son. I did baby sitting work while he was in school and it took care of the bills. I’m currently applying for customer service Rep work. My background is in Customer Service.
