Devastated after job termination: Reflecting on three years of dedication and confusion

I was terminated from my job yesterday, and I am feeling absolutely devastated. I had dedicated three years to this company, pouring my heart into my role, and I genuinely loved being part of the team. I wasn't the most outgoing person, but I took pride in my work. When I arrived at the office, the CFO called me in for a quick chat. I sat down with him and another woman who had a folder, and they informed me that my position was terminated. I was in shock and couldn't help but cry as I asked why this was happening and if I was the only one affected. The CFO told me that my performance didn't match the expectations for someone who had been there for three years. This was particularly confusing because during my last performance review, I had sought feedback on how to improve, and both the CFO and my manager had praised my work. Now, two days later, I'm still struggling to process this. I was the primary breadwinner for my family, and all I have to show for my time there is my experience. I feel a mix of anger and sadness, wanting to lash out, but I remember how kind everyone was. I can't shake the feeling that I was the weakest link in our small group, and all the positive feedback I received was somehow misleading. It's painful to think that I didn't see what everyone else might have known. I know I need to take steps moving forward, like filing for unemployment, but right now, I just feel lost.
