Hello.

Does the underlined part sould naural?
''She didn't find a job there. She had to move. It was sad for her.''

Yes, but consider joining the first two two sentences with a suitable coordinating conjunction. Post below.

Thank you. I would use ''so''. ''She didn't find a job there so she had to move. It was sad for her.''

Yes, and you can put a comma before "so",

I forgot to ask. Are ''sadly for her'' and ''unfortunately for her'' also possible?

Perhaps:

Unfortunately for her, she had to move.

You could use "Sadly for her" also if you wish. (Not both at the same time, of course.)

For example, ''Sadly for her, she had to move.'' ''Unfortunately for her, she had to move.''

Does the underlined part sould natural?
''She didn't find a job there. She had to move. It was sad for her.''

Perhaps:

Unfortunately, she couldn't find a job there and had to move.
