If you know anyone who gets laid off and don't know what to say - write a note. The phone calls are awkward; no one knows what to say. This is especially true from coworkers that kept their jobs.
I got a handwritten card from someone in my bible study. She wrote that she had been through a layoff and knew how I felt. It really meant a lot to me that someone took the time to send a card. I did the same for the other person who lost her job - I found a card that said "you are fantastic". She sent me a text that it was what she needed to hear.
I have found some jobs to apply for and received my first rejection letter so I am on the road to "the next thing".
