Don't sign any papers they give you until you've had time to go over them with (preferably) a lawyer or if not at least someone who's gone through this. Given the number of years you've been there, you are owed a fair amount of severance by law -- and one would hope also counseling for finding a new job etc.
Make sure there's no restrictions on who you could work for too.
While this is not the greatest time, it may give you a few months in nice weather to do other things, and you're likely to find something better, and that could allow you to build new & different skills.
Let me know if you need help -- or just someone to chat to.
