I could support my friend by being there to listen in on what he is going through during this sad period. I would be supportive in highlighting how he feels, what he could have done and most importantly, he's identity with the job.

The best way to support them is to be a good friend and let them know that you are there for them no matter what happens and that everything is going to be ok.

Let your coworker or friend know that you are there to support them. Sometimes that is a huge help in itself: just knowing that someone cares about you. Other ways you can offer support is by offering to be a reference for them, offering to write a letter about their performance if you worked with them, offering to help them look for job listings, or what other kind of support they may need. "Hey, I'm here for you. Let me know if you need a reference or help finding job listings or if you need a hug." You're a good friend.

You can support your coworker or friend that's losing their job by just being there for them. It can be hard when something that life changing happens. It helps so much to have someone by your side to have an open ear for them to vent and have that relief while going through that difficult time.

By being understanding of them, and just being there for them, so many people are going to have to stop themselves from judging your out of work friend, they are going to need all the support they can get right now, and the reassurance that their worth is not determined by their net income.
