ENCOURAGING THOSE IN THE LOSS OF A JOB

  • Acknowledge their Loss – Don’t Ignore It
  • Say something - The perfect word or phrase rarely exists
  • Listen – Listen – Listen -  Be an active listener
  • Cultivate a calm, non-anxious relaxed presence
  • Give your full attention – Your presence is a gift
  • Let them know they are not alone
  • Say “I’m Sorry” and mean it
  • Show them you care – You may not understand but you care
  • Create space for them that will enable them to express their emotions (anger, frustration, embarrassment, etc.)
  • Give them permission and safety to grieve (Safe People book)
  • Pray with them & for them
  • Limit your advice, for a few days, about a new resume, online job postings, the 10 best ways to find a job, etc. They don’t want to know how much you know; they want to know how much you care.
  • Don’t hasten them into a new job search – Give them time
  • Ask them what you might do to help them find a new job
  • When they are ready - Offer to help them rewrite their resume
  • Be one of their balcony people (Balcony People by Joyce Landorf Heatherly)
  • Refer them to whatsyourgrief.com
