    My spouse does not know yet that I was let go as an HR coordinator. There are 8 people counting on me, so I am trying to be careful. I want a plan before I speak. Did it get easier afterwards?

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