Just got laid off, what should I do first?

    I was let go as a teaching assistant this week and I am still in shock. I have been trying to stay organised about it. I have not told my family yet. Is there a checklist I should follow?

    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.
