How do I tell my family about the layoff? after 3 years as a web developer

My spouse does not know yet that I was let go as a web developer. I would rather hear the honest version than the polite one. I feel ashamed even though the company cut a whole team. How did you handle it?

I told my partner the same evening with a simple plan: what happened, what I was doing and what I needed. It was a relief.
