I was just informed that our department is eliminated and I will lose my job at the end of March

So I have a month and a half of benefits. Luckily, I will have about 5 months severance and free 4 hour resume writing and career counseling. I am 56 and worried. I am a director currently. I have seen the writing on the wall and have started job search already, but have not really found anything. I think there are very few jobs at my level to begin with and many are out of state, but due to family reasons I cannot relocate right now. I am in the financial services sector.

Mainly venting here, but if you have gone through sometimes similar please share.
