Got laid off from the best job

I worked so hard. I loved what I did and everyone I worked with. The hours, pay and location were incredible. I volunteered to do a number of projects on my own time that would help other employees and make things more efficient, easier, and more likely to produce a higher quality product. All while I was a temp. I was supposed to be hired full time. My boss told me how happy he was of my work everyday and how excited he was for me to be hired. I felt on top of the world. This was wonderful for not only myself, but my family as well. An hour after talking to my boss, I get a call from my recruiter that I'm laid off.

I worked so hard. I loved what I did and everyone I worked with. The hours, pay and location were incredible. I volunteered to do a number of projects on my own time that would help other employees and make things more efficient, easier, and more likely to produce a higher quality product. All while I was a temp. I was supposed to be hired full time. My boss told me how happy he was of my work everyday and how excited he was for me to be hired. I felt on top of the world. This was wonderful for not only myself, but my family as well. An hour after talking to my boss, I get a call from my recruiter that I'm laid off. The company got bought out and isn't doing well and since I'm a temp I'm the first to go. I was in tears while pleading for my job. I immediately called my boss, he had no idea and was livid. I fell into such a deep depression. He said not to worry because he was going to try and get my job back for me, it must've been a mistake. Its been one month and he's been trying so hard and keeping me updated. Today he texted and said that the company still isn't doing well and he doesn't think I'll be able to come back. I feel like I did some thing wrong. I received so much praise there that I've never had at any other job before. I wanted to be there until I retired. What did I do wrong? Why did this happen? I knew it was too good to be true. I never thought I would ever feel this devastated or depressed over losing a job. Why do we have to give two weeks when leaving a job but they don't have to do the same? Why don't the higher ups talk to the managers or supervisors before letting people go? Just spend some time and figure out who would benefit the company by staying. I worked so hard, and I failed.
