Hiding a layoff from the family, bad idea?, data-entry clerk here

I was laid off 13 weeks ago and have not told my family because I do not want them to worry. I worked as a data-entry clerk before this. I want a plan before I speak. How did you handle it?

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

Do not wait until a bill surprises them. The longer it goes, the harder it gets.
