How do I tell my family about the layoff? - 2 weeks in

I was laid off 2 weeks ago and have not told my family because I do not want them to worry. I have read a lot of threads here and could not find my exact situation. I want a plan before I speak. Did it get easier afterwards?

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 13 months ago, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.

Kids often pick up more than you think. A short, calm explanation helped mine feel secure.
