How do I tell my family about the layoff? after 14 years as a retail manager

    I was laid off 14 weeks ago and have not told my family because I do not want them to worry. This is my first time dealing with any of this. I feel ashamed even though the company cut a whole team. Did it get easier afterwards?

    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.
