Dear Sarita,
The best thing you can tell them is that they have lost jobs because the employer was not in a position to pay them.
We all tend to focus on those issues in our lives that lead to painful thoughts. Just ask yourself as well - have you ever thought more of a happy situation or a sad situation? I admit that I usually think of the sad part, though there are many happy things to appreciate and be cheerful about. I am trying to practice thinking more about happy events in life. Therefore, I have stopped thinking - what if this never happens?
The same applies to everyone. Difficulties come in life. We have to use this as a base for why we have to try harder. Tough times don't last long. People will have to try and see what opportunities are out there, and also help others in need. This gives a sense of relief.
All of us are worth this beautiful life. Why let a recession or financial crisis define this moment in our lives? Aren't we worth much more? Don't we know how good we are at what we do? We need to be confident, leave all worries outside our minds, and free our minds to think about how to get a better opportunity.
If the mind and heart are filled with sorrow, we are locking ourselves from seeing the world and blaming it as fate. It's not fate; it's a chance. Don't miss it!
Kind regards

Hi, Sarita,
You may motivate those who have lost their jobs by reminding them that this is not the end. You can suggest that they make this period useful by updating themselves in their respective fields or platforms. For those who have lost increments, you may point them to individuals who have lost their jobs.
Goodbye!

Hi Sarita,
It is nice to think about all those people who have lost their jobs in this sad phase. The only positive thing you can do about it is to motivate them and cheer them up. It's just a phase, and life is not over yet, so there's no need to think about suicides or running away from reality.
Here is a small PPT for all those who are feeling down and think they've lost everything. It's not exactly based on the recession, but it does provide inspiration to move on with life in any phase.
Have a great day.

Hi Saritha,
I think the best way to advise those people is to motivate them not to lose their confidence levels. As Asha rightly said, it's not that they are incompetent and have lost their jobs, but it's their employer who was incompetent in utilizing them correctly. This means that it is not the right place for them to be in.
Even though I know that it's easy to write, it's really tough to face layoffs. However, one who can keep calm and believe in themselves will somehow make it.
Just for sharing, I have read this article on the Net. You may share the same with them.
With resume gaps now the norm, workers should pay attention to how they spent time between jobs.
The reason is simple: Employers want to know how job candidates spent their time when they were out of work. Learning? Traveling? Moping? Unless you project the image of a can-do job seeker, you're likely to have a tough time bouncing back from periods of unemployment.
“What they are looking for is that you were productive with your time,” says Jenna Gausman, a career counselor with Kerwin and Associates, a California-based career counseling and consulting firm.
Career counselor Linsey Levine of CareerCounsel in New York concurs. She emphasizes the importance of demonstrating continued involvement with career-oriented activities. “It's not only critically important to the employer, but it's important to the candidate as well,” she says. “It takes away feelings of depression, discouragement, and hopelessness.”
To project an active, engaged attitude during a job search, consider these tips for being productive when you're out of work.
Volunteer Your Services
Volunteering provides "a double benefit," Levine says. In addition to giving back to a cause or organization, you get to work with people who see you in action. “It becomes a great new networking environment,” she says.
Be a Leader
Join a professional organization, Gausman urges, but don't just attend meetings. Instead, take your involvement to the next level by serving on a board or organizing events. “Through that, people often end up finding jobs,” she says.
Take a Class
Employers are often wary of job candidates with outdated skills, especially in technical fields. If you take a class or even begin pursuing an advanced degree, you have a ready-made way of countering that perception as you demonstrate your engagement in the field.
Find an Internship
Those early in their careers may want to consider an internship, even if they have previously held a full-time job. The same goes for workers considering a career transition. Gausman says she worked with one client in her mid-40s who got an internship, which helped her with a career transition.
Teach a Class
Universities, community colleges, and continuing-education programs often seek professionals to teach classes. Aside from being a potential avenue for networking, teaching gigs look impressive to employers, positioning you as someone with expertise in your field and the ability to impart that expertise to others.
Be a Consultant
Don Sutaria, founder, and president of CareerQuest, a New Jersey-based career coaching firm, advises those involved in a drawn-out job search to set themselves up as an independent consultant by getting business cards and a website. Your assignments may be small ones, but being a consultant allows you to market yourself as someone active and involved in your field.
Join a Job Seekers Group
Churches, libraries, and other organizations often host groups for job seekers, Sutaria notes. These groups often serve to help people make contacts and provide support.
Build Social Networks
With jobs and other commitments, many people find they don't have time to develop the sort of social networks crucial to a productive life and career. “They get it done after they get everything else done,” says career coach Lynn Berger, who recommends people spend time expanding social networks. Those connections often mean as much as professional ones during a job search. “You start talking to your neighbor, and you learn they know X, Y, and Z,” she says.
Start a Business
If you've ever dreamed of owning your own business, a period of unemployment may actually be the time to try to pull it off. Levine knows one telecommunications executive who started a web hosting company with a number of friends. The partners have other engagements now and then, but their cooperative arrangement allows them to spend more or less time on the business as their schedules permit. And, not surprisingly, networking for the business helps in other aspects of their careers.
Have Fun
Play golf. Go for a run. Or, like one of Levine's clients, build something (in his case, a pond). “It gives you something good to talk about,” says Levine. “It sets the tone for a conversation.” And conversation, whether online or off, is often the lifeblood of a productive job search.

That was indeed a good piece of advice, Naveen. Very comprehensive.
Coming to Ravi's comments on those who committed suicides... well, what about them, Ravi? They are where they were meant to be--"up above the world so high, like a diamond in the sky." They had their chance to shine in their careers and realize the line above... but they chose to realize the line in a different way--that's all.
