    I was laid off 21 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 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.
