Unless you’ve ever been laid off from a job yourself, it’s hard to understand the range of emotions one experiences as the result of a job loss. These feelings may range anywhere from denial, anger and depression (similar to what one goes through during the five stages of grief) to panic, humiliation, loss of confidence and shame (even if there’s nothing to be ashamed about).
