Job Loss

Recently a friend of mine lost their job. You may have gone through a similar situation. I remember being downsized back in 2009.

Job loss is a sensitive issue with many people. I think the hardest part of any job loss is how people react. People often "don't know what to say" so they completely ignore the person who lost their job. The simple fact? We don't need to say anything. We just need to listen. That person who lost their job is experiencing a wave of emotions that just need to be let out and a listening ear helps,.

If you know someone who has lost a job, lend a listening ear, take them out for coffee or even send a quick message saying they are in their thoughts.  A simple act of kindness can go along way during a job loss.
