Hiding a layoff from the family, bad idea?

    I was laid off 4 weeks ago and have not told my family because I do not want them to worry. It has been weighing on me all week. I feel ashamed even though the company cut a whole team. What did you say?

    Shame is common after a layoff even when it is not your fault. Saying it out loud to one person first helped me.
