Telling my partner I lost my job - first time posting

I have been leaving the house at the same time each day so my kids do not notice. Any experience at all would help. I feel ashamed even though the company cut a whole team. How did you handle it?

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 13 months ago, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.

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