I was laid off today after 25 years at my company, and I feel completely lost and scared. This is my first time ever facing a layoff, and while I initially felt a sense of relief after accepting the news, reality quickly set in, leaving me in despair. I'm 51 years old, and the thought of starting over is overwhelming. I've received some encouragement from others who have been in similar situations, reminding me to apply for unemployment as soon as possible and to take some time to process my feelings. They suggested taking a weekend to vent and relax before diving into the job search. I know I need to update my resume and start looking for new opportunities, but right now, I'm just trying to cope with this major life change.
