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

My spouse does not know yet that I was let go as a logistics coordinator. I worked as a logistics coordinator before this. Bills are coming up and I cannot keep this quiet. What did you say?

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

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 4 months ago, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
