Research Notes on Coping with Job Loss


For some, it is difficult to cope after losing a job. It is important to allow yourself time to grieve after losing a job.1 You should reach out to friends and family during this time so that you have a support system you can talk to about your feelings and plans.2 Once you have allowed yourself an appropriate amount of time to grieve the lose of your job, it is important to move on and search for another job.2

Fast Facts:

  • Ask family members and friends for ideas on your job search.
  • Most people do not understand that job loss has its own grieving process.1
  • Find ways to relieve the stress that comes along with losing your job.1
