Laid off this week, where do I start? - 14 months and counting

I lost my job as an accountant and I am not sure what to do first. This is my first time dealing with any of this. I have not told my family yet.

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 14 months ago, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.

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