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

My spouse does not know yet that I was let go as an accounts payable clerk. There are 13 people counting on me, so I am trying to be careful. Bills are coming up and I cannot keep this quiet.

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 6 months ago, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
