I understand it must be scary to lose a friend or Co worker in a workplace. I'm sure you feel alone or feel like your next. You have financial needs and they should be met with or without the person that was let go

You can still have a relationship with your coworker, but it will be a bit different than before. You won't have business things to talk about and you may not see them every day but you could ask them to lunch, connect after work, even go to breakfast together. Check in on them to see how they are dealing with this change and support them. Until they are feeling healthy, try not to talk about how good things are going for you out right. Be a good listener while they are going through this life change. Offer to look out for jobs and to talk to your network to see if you know someone who needs someone with their expertise.
