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

    I was laid off 22 weeks ago and have not told my family because I do not want them to worry. It has been a long 22 weeks. 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.
