Just got laid off, what should I do first? - what worked for you?

I was let go as a school bus driver this week and I am still in shock. I have read a lot of threads here and could not find my exact situation. 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.

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