How do I tell my family about the layoff? after 13 years as a store manager

I was laid off 13 weeks ago and have not told my family because I do not want them to worry. It has been weighing on me all week. Bills are coming up and I cannot keep this quiet. How did you handle it?

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

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