Laid off - sweetpea

Well, I got the call yesterday about halfway through my shift that I'm being laid off, because of lack of work and eliminating my position.  Needless to say, I was totally blindsided.  I've been with this company for 15 years and am just 3 years away from retirement.  The last thing I wanted to do at this juncture was to start a new job/career.  My supervisor told me the layoffs have been ongoing.  Is the company having financial difficulties?  I had noticed the drop off in work since the Holidays.  

I am still kind of dazed today, I don't think it has really set in yet.  I'm just trying to figure out what my next move is.
