['My job laid me off during my maternity leave.', 'That is horrible!  How could they justify doing that?  You must have been disgusted with them!', 'I am honestly, and just so scary not knowing how you will support your newborn child. It was a nightmare.']
I can imagine.  I hope it all works out for the best and that you are able to come away from this as a stronger person.
