I have been made Redundant. Life (as I know it) is over

I was recently made redundant. When it happened, it felt like my life was over and everything caved in. When I checked online for redundancies and what to expect, I got a lot of legal answers. These were useful to me. However, I was not prepared for the mental anguish that came with redundancy. The anger, pain, fear, and panic attacks that followed. I guess I was already feeling stressed due to the lockdown and other things going on this year.
This video highlight issues and useful solutions.
As this is new territory for me, I can't answer all your questions. I had questions like:
How much redundancy pay for 5 years?
What happens with redundancy and notice period?
What is the minimum redundancy payment?
What is enhanced redundancy pay?
Is redundancy payment taxable?

As promised, the 3 links below are good websites where all these questions are answered.

It is my hope to encourage and empower.

This is the 1st time I have faced redundancy. I struggled therefore will love to hear your story of how you handled it and what you are doing now.

I hope you found this video helpful. Please leave comments and ask me questions. This helps me improve.

Oh my, I’ve only just watched your video. You are so brave and such an imspiration. Thank you for continually spreading positivity through your SM platform.
One thing I like about your videos is that it tackles every day REAL LIFE issues🙏🏾that a lot of people especially people in ‘our community’ are not comfortable to talk about. Thank you, thank you, will keep sharing 💕💕

I have just been made redundant. I have literally done nothing.
Working through my notice period has been a nightmare and I have not negotiated severance pay at all, which is something I should look into doing.

Having been made redundant a couple of times in my life and one thing I’ve learnt is:
“remember that it’s the job that is being redundant- not you the person”
This is one of the hardest things to appreciate when you are going through it but it has helped me so much...

The other thing as you’ve mentioned which has made a huge impact on my life recently has been therapy! Speaking to someone completely unbiased helped me so much and something I would absolutely recommend to anyone!

I love all your videos and I can’t wait to see what the next chapter is for you... because change can be good!

You missed off a huge huge point. Prayer!!! This should be at the top of your list as a Christian.
