    I was laid off 20 weeks ago and have not told my family because I do not want them to worry. Bills are coming up and I cannot keep this quiet. How did you handle it?

    Kids often pick up more than you think. A short, calm explanation helped mine feel secure.

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