A blog recently ran in a .com publication. Is this your story? Being Human Now explores the new normal of being Unemployed, 55, and Faking Normal Here is short portion of the blog: "You know her. She is in your friendship circle, hidden in plain sight. She is 55, broke and tired of trying to keep up appearances. Faking normal is wearing her out. To look at her, you wouldn't know that her electricity was cut off last week for non-payment or that she meets the eligibility requirements for food stamps. Her clothes are still impeccable, bought in the good times when she was still making money. But if you paid attention, you would see the sadness in her eyes, hear that grace note of panic in her otherwise commanding voice."
