I got fired due to budget cuts and organizational restructuring

I got fired last week, 28/10/2026 due to budget cuts and organizational restructuring
So, last week I got fired from a job I really enjoy. I was very sad and surprised upon hearing the news and how quickly all came to me. I feel a bit lost, and I have to restart the whole process of looking for a job, which may be temporary as well; who knows. HR told me I did nothing wrong, just stuff that happens with the budget and that other coworkers were getting fired as well. I got to see how another person goes into the HR office as soon as I leave. There is hope, as they told me to deliver my CV once more, and they were going to give us priority in March 2027, but in the meantime, try to survive 4 months without a job. I am so grateful that I think I can pull off that time without working, but now I feel weird, as if I should try to look for another job and not let myself be that 'much' time unemployed. I have already experienced unemployment 2 times prior to this, so I know when money runs out and you start to worry and become more serious about this.
Again, I'm really lucky and grateful for my condition. I have a supporting family, a mother, and savings to take some time off, but I don't want to be overconfident about this. In the meantime I might keep working on baulchino or other projects. These are hard times, I guess, and I wish luck to anyone in a situation similar to mine.
