How do I tell my family about the layoff? (Columbus)

I was laid off 24 weeks ago and have not told my family because I do not want them to worry. It has been a long 24 weeks. I feel ashamed even though the company cut a whole team. Did it get easier afterwards?

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

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