typical day changes

You go into work and it's a typical day. Traffic's bad, it's a quick breakfast and you dive right into work when you get there.

And then it changes...you no longer have a job. You have to walk past all your co-workers back to your desk like everything's normal. You pack up your personal belongings. Did you get the files you need for your portfolio? You have to call your spouse to tell them the news as you leave the office. You have a family at home that's counting on you, that knows you bring in the funds to keep things running. In moments all that has changed and you never knew the day would start that way. You're confused, frustrated, mad and wondering where this leaves you.

This is what some people I know today are going through and I can't describe how I want to help them, but I don't know how.
