Chikky,

First of all I am very sorry to hear that.  I have been there several times - it's like a death in way and you will go through all the emotions of being upset, downhearted, at a loss as well as angry.

Have they given you a date to go?
Can you use the time wisely to update your CV and register with agencies?  
Are you entitled to any redundancy?  
Will they write you a reference?

Once you have established some of this you will begin to take the next steps to do what you have to do.  Stay positive, you know you are not being laid off because of performance so don't put yourself down when applying for jobs or going for interviews....your company is downsizing due to a reduction in work.

As I have said, see if you can get some time off to register with agencies and if you need any help with updating your CV, please let me know.

I have survived several redundancies and I am still here to live the tale, stronger and more determined than ever.
