Just looking for advice, I just got laid off of my job o two years. Before that I had a series of jobs with the same companies for about ten years. I feel like a failure and am just wondering how other people process something like this.

This is good advice. I was laid off and took it really hard. A few years later, I ran into a coworker from the same place and learned that we were all laid off and I was just the first so I assumed I was the only one. Two years later, they contacted me to see if I was interested in “coming back” after the company had a failed outsourcing effort. No thank you.
The toughest part is facing the first few interviews. Be prepared to speak to the event. Be honest but kind to yourself. Tell how you learned or grew from it. Don’t dwell on it, either. It will be hard, but gets easier with time and practice.
