Layoff happened 4 days ago, feeling lost after 4 years as a teaching assistant

They called a meeting on Thursday and 4 of us were let go. I had been there 4 years. I have been trying to stay organised about it. I have a few weeks of savings and a rent payment due. What did you do in the first week?

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