    I lost my job as a copywriter and I am not sure what to do first. There are 12 people counting on me, so I am trying to be careful. I have not told my family yet. Which steps were urgent?

    File for unemployment right away. Do not wait for severance decisions. The date you file can matter.

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