More and more people are losing their jobs in this tough economy. Sometimes it is hard to know what to say, especially because it can be an extremely devastating event. Often times it has been documented that people who lose their jobs and have had a long and great experience working there, rank it as traumatizing as losing a family member. Many people succumb to deep depression because they feel inadequate in supporting their families, and many more feel like failures because of being unemployed. However, by choosing the right words regarding their loss can help provide a lot of support. At a time of uncertainty as well as depression it is essential that the individual feels cared for as well as have a feeling of support from close family and friends. Dealing with an individual who has recently lost a job can prove to be a challenge; however, it is not any easier than finding out that your life long career let you off.
Therefore, people are in need of words and sources of inspiration so that they may have a swift and progressive recovery that will help hopefully land them a job relatively soon. By drafting a sympathy letter you are letting the individual know that there is hope and that people still believe in their abilities and skills to finding a new career that will provide much if not more happiness than the previous job. Here are some various examples of phrases that can exhibit your condolences, and at the same time express your support by justifying the act implicating that it was not their fault in any manner, but rather due to conditions that were somewhat uncontrollable. Most importantly it is a way to express some sort of encouragement that one day hopefully soon they will be right back on track.
* "It's not your fault. This economy is doing really badly and everybody is getting cut left and right. Keep your chin up."
* "I am really sorry to hear about what happened. But I know you will pick yourself up and find a job in no time!"
* "It's not just you, everybody is experiencing the effects of the poor economy. But I know that things will look better. I am here for you if you need anything at all."
* "I am so sorry to hear that you have lost your job. I know how hard you worked and how much the position meant to you."
By receiving this crucial support individuals will start to take initiative into their own hands and brew intuition that pushes for them to find a job and more importantly find themselves. Words have a way of improving lives, whether they be used in times of joy, sadness, excitement etc, words are a great way of expressing your feelings at a time of need for those you care and love.
