In this economy, losing a job means losing WHO you are. Losing your lifestyle. Losing your dignity. Possibly losing respect from your partner - if they do not understand.
If it is a guy who lost the job, it would be very difficult for him - because we usually call him the "bread winner".
Wow...
NJ, Couldn't you be a lil more depressing ...?
She needs encouragement huni...
Sister sadzzz...I have been there not long ago.
I was out of work for about 5 months. Yes it was tough but this brought our family closer to Allah and each other.
I am sure your husband is more concerned than you are so don't push him at all. Be extra nice with him.
I have 20+ years of experience in my profession and it took me 5 months to get back, it might take your husband few months but never lose hope.
One thing that really really helped me was NAMAZ. Ask him to pray as many times as possible if not 5 times a day.
Sura-e-Quresh 70 times a day also helps in this situation.
