It can take a while to get over a layoff when it’s unexpected, it isn’t so different than a relationship ending. We spend a lot of time at work and often put a lot of ourselves into our jobs.
This could be depression or just delayed grief as needing to find a job on short notice tends to block out a lot of emotion and it can take a bit after getting a job for that block to loosen.
What helps you get out of the funk and what helps someone else get out probably varies. For me a decent walk around the neighborhood/park and decreased phone time are/were very helpful. Even mild alcohol use was a very temporary thing that created a long-term detriment. Society sucks at teaching healthy coping mechanisms.
The Webster definition is morally bad or wrong.
What morals a person has can vary and can be contextual as well so there isn’t an easy definition. Asking for that really detracts from the point. Which is more what are your morals and which of those are strongly held and which are weaker.
