Layoff happened 3 days ago, feeling lost after 3 years as a home health aide

I was let go as a home health aide this week and I am still in shock. It has been weighing on me all week. I have a box of my things and a short letter about benefits. Which steps were urgent?

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

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