Hiding a layoff from the family, bad idea? - what worked for you?

    My spouse does not know yet that I was let go as a paralegal. Any experience at all would help. I feel ashamed even though the company cut a whole team. What did you say?

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