Layoff happened 18 days ago, feeling lost - what worked for you?

I was let go as a security officer this week and I am still in shock. I have been trying to stay organised about it. I have a box of my things and a short letter about benefits. 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.

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