How do I tell my family about the layoff? - 16 weeks in

I have been leaving the house at the same time each day so my kids do not notice. Bills are coming up and I cannot keep this quiet. What did you say?

Keep everything in writing and save the confirmation numbers. It made the follow-up calls so much easier.

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 8 months ago, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
