By proceeding, I agree that I understand the following disclosures:
I. How We Work in Washington. Based on your preferences, we provide you with information about one or more of our contracted senior living providers ("Participating Communities") and provide your Senior Living Care Information to Participating Communities. The Participating Communities may contact you directly regarding their services. APFM does not endorse or recommend any provider. It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.
II. How We Are Paid. We do not charge you any fee – we are paid by the Participating Communities. Some Participating Communities pay us a percentage of the first month's standard rate for the rent and care services you select. We invoice these fees after the senior moves in.
III. When We Tour. APFM tours certain Participating Communities in Washington (typically more in metropolitan areas than in rural areas.) During the 12 month period prior to December 31, 2017, we toured 86.2% of Participating Communities with capacity for 20 or more residents.
IV. No Obligation or Commitment. You have no obligation to use or to continue to use our services. Because you pay no fee to us, you will never need to ask for a refund.
V. Complaints. Please contact our Family Feedback Line at (866) 584-7340 or
[email protected] to report any complaint. Consumers have many avenues to address a dispute with any referral service company, including the right to file a complaint with the Attorney General's office at: Consumer Protection Division, 800 5th Avenue, Ste. 2000, Seattle, 98104 or 800-551-4636.

and go get the next one! you’ll succeed at the next one! we constantly have to dust ourselves off, and get up again.
(the reason you can’t reply individually is because the forum’s admin decided to move your question/thread to discussions. they decide which ones get moved. discussions can’t be replied to individually.)
I don't know if it seems selfish of me to come on here to vent so often but... it's a tight situation.
Its like an anger that you can't express because there is nobody to be angry at.
I can't be angry at my Mom because its not her fault that she's sick.
I can't be angry at God because...well ....it's not like I can physically see God to argue with him.
I can't be angry at my Dad because it's not his fault either.
It's nobody's fault.
P.S. as to this most recent disappointment ....I can't even be angry at the recruiters because I don't know what's going on behind the scenes.
There's a bit of jealousy because I know some other people that got the job before me. They are the ones who suggested that I apply in the first place. So there's this self doubt/jealousy of "maybe I'm just not good enough" knawing at me a bit.
But I will shake this off. I got to.
you’ll succeed at the next interview/promotion!!
i hope you’re doing lots of nice things to cheer yourself up.
bad news: rejection
good news: you get to be super nice to yourself, treat yourself to all sorts of nice things.
Frankly, living with husband with PD, I am feeling like you, my world is shrinking, as possibilities of treatments for this disease and/or getting better are less and less.
He was denied DBS today. Patches will work better but not available in Canada just USA.
All I can say I understand how you feel.
It could have been that the thing with Mom. Could be as a new Doctor you didn't have the experience that the person that got the job had. Who knows. I can so see why you need to get away. Peoples expectations of you are too high. There will be that job that takes you away and grab it when it does. You are not the only person who can care for Mom. You cannot put your career on hold. Now is the time to take whatever comes your way.
I am not a religious person but I have sent up a prayer for you because I believe they do work.
I'm also a firm believer in the fact that when we give of ourselves to others especially in the act of caregiving, that God will in His time give us double for our trouble. Meaning that He will bless us beyond anything we could have ever imagined. So hang tight, and be expectant of His blessing(s).
I'm sorry you didn't get the job that sounds like it would've been perfect for you. It seems to me that things happen for a reason, which sounds like a 'trite' answer when you're probably reeling with the sting of rejection right now. But one day down the road, when a better offer comes along, you may be thankful you didn't take this job that 'sounded like it would've been perfect for you' b/c the one you wind up taking will truly BE the right one for you. That is my hope for you, anyway. Try not to beat yourself up for 'giving the wrong answer' during the interview, too. I'm sure you did your best, and what more can you ask of yourself?
I'm sure this feels like another punch in your gut when you're already burned out and resentful for having to care for your mom. Sometimes life just sucks and there's no other way to say it. We've all been there at one time or another. Sending you a great big hug and a prayer that the reason why you didn't get this job becomes clear to you in short order. And I'm glad you'll be here with us for the foreseeable future!
