Hiding a layoff from the family, bad idea? (update)

I was laid off 12 weeks ago and have not told my family because I do not want them to worry. I want a plan before I speak. How did you handle it?

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

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