Why does losing your job hurt so much

Why does losing your job hurt so much Job loss is one of the most  traumatic  things we go through, supposedly. Why? Is it because we lose our entire income? That can be replaced. People replace their incomes in various ways (new job, side gig, start a business, etc.). Is it because we lose our status in society? My general manager job title definitely gave me a sense of social security. Ive since learned that using a title to define your self-worth, even your professional self-worth, is not healthy. Is it because we find out how mortal we are, with regard to our career? I thought I was in the inner circle, and safe little did I realize how powerful politicking was and how someoneelse could impact my security. Is it because we were once secure, and now we are thrown into complete unkown? We worked hard to get where we were, and now we have to start over, trying to prove ourselves against thousands of others. Is it because ____________________________? Why? And, looking at it from an emotionless perspective, are the reasons justified?  Should it really hurt that much?
