How do I handle a long gap on my résumé?

I have been out of work for 10 months and worry about the gap. I have been trying to stay organised about it. I am nervous about being filtered out. Did anyone get past it?

Keep everything in writing and save the confirmation numbers. It saved me later.

A short, honest line such as 'family caregiving' is enough for most employers. They mostly want to know you are ready now.
