Hiding a layoff from the family, bad idea? after 11 years as an accounts payable clerk

My spouse does not know yet that I was let go as an accounts payable clerk. I worked as an accounts payable clerk before this. I want a plan before I speak. How did you handle it?

Kids often pick up more than you think. A short, calm explanation helped mine feel secure.

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