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

I was laid off 17 weeks ago and have not told my family because I do not want them to worry. There are 11 people counting on me, so I am trying to be careful. I feel ashamed even though the company cut a whole team. How did you handle it?

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