Telling my partner I lost my job (Boston)

My spouse does not know yet that I was let go as a bookkeeper. This is my first time dealing with any of this. I feel ashamed even though the company cut a whole team. Did it get easier afterwards?

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

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it last year, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
