Just got laid off, what should I do first?

    I was let go as a welding apprentice this week and I am still in shock. There are 6 people counting on me, so I am trying to be careful. I have not told my family yet. What did you do in the first week?

    I made a short list: benefits, bills, documents, and then my résumé. One thing each day kept me steady.

    Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 6 months ago, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
