How do I tell my family about the layoff?

I was laid off 13 weeks ago and have not told my family because I do not want them to worry. There are 5 people counting on me, so I am trying to be careful. Bills are coming up and I cannot keep this quiet. What did you say?

I told my partner the same evening with a simple plan: what happened, what I was doing and what I needed. It was a relief.
