Hiding a layoff from the family, bad idea? after 8 years as a store manager

My spouse does not know yet that I was let go as a store manager. It has been weighing on me all week. I feel ashamed even though the company cut a whole team. Did it get easier afterwards?

Keep everything in writing and save the confirmation numbers. It made the follow-up calls so much easier.

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.
