Severely depressed, looking for some human contact....

Hi, I had RNY recently and have been doing pretty well, losing weight, feeling better, life seemed blessed... My boss called me in to his office Friday and told me confidentially that the big-wigs at our company are trying to devise a way to eliminate my position (and the positions of all people at the company who do the same job-type as I do). They are thinking of "outsourcing" my job. They can pay an outside company less money to do my job than they pay me, and wouldn't have to pay benefits like they do with me... I work in a small, specialized area of healthcare, and the job I have now would be extremely hard to find again. I would be forced to take some entry-level job most likely, working night shift for less money. May be I could find a supervisory job, but they're very stressful. I am very lucky to have the job I have, and have not heard of anyone else in my field having the same wonderful set-up this job has provided me. I am scared, depressed, sad, and so down-hearted now. I just don't know what I am going to do if i lose my job. How can I go back to an entry level night shift job for a lot less money? I worked my way up since 1996 to get to the top of my field, just to have it all yanked out from under me? I know this sounds stupid, but I feel like I would rather be dead than go back to working some night shift entry level position. To be honest, I am posting this hear because I could use a little compassion and kindness right now from another human being.... Thanks to anyone who responds....
