Just got laid off, what should I do first? - 12 months and counting

I lost my job as an accountant and I am not sure what to do first. Any experience at all would help. I have not told my family yet. What did you do in the first week?

Give yourself the first couple of days to be upset. I did, and then I felt able to plan.

Keep everything in writing and save the confirmation numbers. It made the follow-up calls so much easier.
