How do I tell my family about the layoff? - 4 months and counting

My spouse does not know yet that I was let go as a mechanic. This is my first time dealing with any of this. I feel ashamed even though the company cut a whole team. How did you handle it?

Shame is common after a layoff even when it is not your fault. Saying it out loud to one person first helped me.

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