Laid off this week

I got my notification last week, and today is my last day. I just don't know how to feel. I'm beyond burnt out, but also worried, because so many jobs in my field (atmospheric science, federal contracting) just got completely slashed this year. This field has been part of my identity since I was 8 years old, and it feels like it's dead for the time being. Anyone else in a similar boat? I need to get a new job soon so we can keep up with our mortgage, but I have no idea where to even start with science being so under funded right now. This is mostly a vent, but I figured you all would understand.
