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

My spouse does not know yet that I was let go as a procurement assistant. It has been a long 5 weeks. I want a plan before I speak. What did you say?

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

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.
