If you currently have these thoughts, you might be in a state of disbelief:

• “This can't be happening to me.”
• “They made a mistake, they can't run this place without me.”
• “I know that they are going to call me back in a few weeks.”
• “What will I tell people?”

Here are some things that you can do to help move through this stage in your loss:

• Give yourself time to process your loss.
• This is not the time to make major life and career decisions.
• Control the impulse to say or do something you might regret.
• Apply for unemployment insurance , if you are eligible.
