How do I tell my family about the layoff? - what worked for you?

I was laid off 8 weeks ago and have not told my family because I do not want them to worry. I am in Columbus, in case local advice matters. Bills are coming up and I cannot keep this quiet. Did it get easier afterwards?

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