Telling my partner I lost my job

    I was laid off 22 weeks ago and have not told my family because I do not want them to worry. I have been trying to stay organised about it. Bills are coming up and I cannot keep this quiet. What did you say?

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

    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.
