It can be a shock to lose a job, and it’s important to remember that other people are going through the same thing, too.  There are a lot of ways that you can help someone who is grieving the loss of a job.  You can ask them how they are doing and how they’re handling it.  You can offer a place to stay and food to eat.  You can get them in touch with a support group.  And you can help them plan for a job search, and guide them through getting back on their feet.

I think helping them with job search is a good idea

If you think you could help with that, I think you could say something like “If you wanted to get back on your feet, how could I help you with that?”  Or you could say “What do you think you need to do to get back on your feet?”   And you might ask what they need help with right away, and then later we can talk about their longer term needs.

Those are good suggestions! I think those are excellent questions to ask without being too over bearing. It's sufficinet
user
Yes, those questions would probably be effective.
