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

I was laid off 6 weeks ago and have not told my family because I do not want them to worry. I worked as a teaching assistant before this. I feel ashamed even though the company cut a whole team. What did you say?

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 11 months ago, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
