How do I tell my family about the layoff? - 10 months and counting

My spouse does not know yet that I was let go as a home health aide. I have read a lot of threads here and could not find my exact situation. Bills are coming up and I cannot keep this quiet. How did you handle it?

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 10 months ago, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
