it is a tough time for you i guess...only you and God know how it will be handled. You have several options, it's up to you which one to chose..
crisis is crisis.. that's why it's bad..it is affecting people's lives... if it wasn't who would care about it?
btw, one could be fired "just because" with n any connection to the crisis..life is still going on...
