One week ago, I received a lay off notice. My job is being permanently eliminated, along with several others in my department. I've never been laid off before and I've never been fired -- this is the first time I'm leaving a job involuntarily.

Have you experienced a lay off? How did you cope? How did you regroup and move forward?
