You answered my question about making a job change recently. After initially accepting the offer, I recanted and turned it down. Later that day the HR Manager left me a voicemail stating management really liked me and wanted to sweeten the offer. I called this morning. Instead of making an offer, she asked me what it would take to get me to come. I gave her a number that was 6% more than what Iwas offered, but still well within the stated salary range. She later sent an email saying she gave the proposal to management and that they were going to pursue other candidates. They didn't even make a counter offer, and said they really didn't think I wanted the job. I thought it was bizarre. (link)
I'm sorry to hear that. That can be tough. I believe all things happen for a reason. I'm sure the job was great but you wanted a better salary than what they offered. I would just get up and move onto the next job. I'm working now, and I don't love my job but I do it because it pays the bills. Do what makes you happy!! Good luck!
