How do I tell my family about the layoff? - any advice?

My spouse does not know yet that I was let go as a school bus driver. I feel ashamed even though the company cut a whole team. What did you say?

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

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