Laid off this week, where do I start? - what worked for you?

I was let go as an HR coordinator this week and I am still in shock. I would rather hear the honest version than the polite one. I have a box of my things and a short letter about benefits.

Ask for your final pay, unused leave and any documents in writing before you leave, if you still can.

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