[quote=Anonymous]Keep networking, keep going to industry events, keep linked in updated, and, make sure the 2 of you keep communicating.  Went through this multiple times with my spouse- luckily, we were both stressed at different times and each was able to talk the other off the ledge.

Don't keep the kids in the dark - you can keep it age appropriate, and, let them know that as a family you'll be cutting back.  Most things they probably won't notice because it's grown up things, but some they will, like you won't be going out to dinner or taking big trips.  Keep their world as much the same as you can.  Eg, keep the magic of the holidays - see the lights at Brookside Gardens or the LDS church, do smaller meaningful presents, take a trip to grandma's, but drive instead of fly and try to make that an adventure (stop at playgrounds along the way if headed south for example).  Whatever activities they havr participated in, DO NOT BE SHY - tell the administration at the soccer/basketball/ballet place that spouse has lost their job and ask for assistance for your children to keep attending.  They know if they do that, once spouse is employed agaon, you will stick with them because of that support.  This is not the time for pride to get in the way[/quote]
