Hiding a layoff from the family, bad idea? after 10 years as a recruiter

I have been leaving the house at the same time each day so my kids do not notice. I do not usually post, so bear with me. I feel ashamed even though the company cut a whole team. Did it get easier afterwards?

I told my partner the same evening with a simple plan: what happened, what I was doing and what I needed. It was a relief.
