How do I tell my family about the layoff? - 3 months and counting

I was laid off 11 weeks ago and have not told my family because I do not want them to worry. I want a plan before I speak. Did it get easier afterwards?

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it last year, 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.
