How do I tell my family about the layoff? after 5 years as a welding apprentice

I was laid off 2 weeks ago and have not told my family because I do not want them to worry. It has been weighing on me all week. I want a plan before I speak.

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 8 months ago, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
