Didn’t get the job after working it for 8 months

First post here on Reddit so apologies I don’t fully understand etiquette etc. So, I’ve been working in a secondment for 8 months now, and following the interview to make it permanent, they’ve just told me I have been unsuccessful and they have appointed someone else. They are happy to keep me in the organisation but demoting me back to my previous position. I’m heartbroken TBH. To make things worse, I’ve had nothing but positive feedback and compliments in terms of my performance, and my managers have repeatedly told me that I “will have no problem” at the interview. It’s a real bolt from the blue. I’m already looking at other positions outside of the organisation but feel humiliated right now. Any words of wisdom?
