Layoff happened 16 days ago, feeling lost - first time posting

They called a meeting on Friday and 16 of us were let go. I had been there 16 years. I have a few weeks of savings and a rent payment due. Which steps were urgent?

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

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