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

I was laid off 18 weeks ago and have not told my family because I do not want them to worry. I feel ashamed even though the company cut a whole team. How did you handle it?

Keep everything in writing and save the confirmation numbers. It saved me later.

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.
