    I was laid off 17 weeks ago and have not told my family because I do not want them to worry. Bills are coming up and I cannot keep this quiet. 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.

    Keep everything in writing and save the confirmation numbers. It saved me later.
