How do I tell my family about the layoff? - first time posting

I have been leaving the house at the same time each day so my kids do not notice. This is my first time dealing with any of this. I want a plan before I speak. 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.

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