Layoff happened 4 days ago, feeling lost - what worked for you?

They called a meeting on Monday and 4 of us were let go. I had been there 4 years. 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?

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

Keep everything in writing and save the confirmation numbers. It made the follow-up calls so much easier.
