    I was laid off 17 weeks ago and have not told my family because I do not want them to worry. I have read a lot of threads here and could not find my exact situation. I want a plan before I speak. What did you say?

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