How do I tell my family about the layoff? - 25 weeks in

My spouse does not know yet that I was let go as an office manager. There are 9 people counting on me, so I am trying to be careful. I feel ashamed even though the company cut a whole team. Did it get easier afterwards?

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

Do not wait until a bill surprises them. The longer it goes, the harder it gets.
