Layoff happened 9 days ago, feeling lost - what worked for you?

I was let go as an insurance claims processor this week and I am still in shock. I have not told my family yet.

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

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 11 months ago, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
