Layoff happened 9 days ago, feeling lost - any advice?

I was let go as an insurance claims processor this week and I am still in shock. I would rather hear the honest version than the polite one. I have a box of my things and a short letter about benefits. What did you do in the first week?

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 3 months ago, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.

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