My first thought was why would I be deeply hurt if I got let go? Looking for a job is minor two or three week inconvenience but it's not the end of the world.

I had to take a step back and realize that life isn't that easy for most professions as it is for software developers in a city heavy tech.

How would I feel if it took me 6-12 months of looking for a job, rejection letters, not hearing back from employers, etc. at least with a divorce you only got rejected by one person.
