You haven’t been made redundant. Your job has. It’s important to understand the semantics here.

Whilst this is an unfortunate situation, it’s not your fault, and often it is exactly these situations that can lead to something much better! Just like running late and missing your train, only to bump into an old friend you haven’t seen for years and rekindle your relationship, that kind of silver lining.

Having said that, it is also perfectly normal to feel stressed if you find yourself in this situation. The good news, however, is that it allows you to gather your thoughts, plan your next steps, and remain positive.
