How do I tell my family about the layoff?, quality inspector here

I was laid off 11 weeks ago and have not told my family because I do not want them to worry. I want a plan before I speak. How did you handle it?

Do not wait until a bill surprises them. The longer it goes, the harder it gets.

I told my partner the same evening with a simple plan: what happened, what I was doing and what I needed. It was a relief.
