Laid off this week, where do I start? (Cincinnati)

They called a meeting on Thursday and 15 of us were let go. I had been there 15 years. There are 15 people counting on me, so I am trying to be careful. I have a box of my things and a short letter about benefits. Which steps were urgent?

Give yourself the first couple of days to be upset. I did, and then I felt able to plan.
