    I have been leaving the house at the same time each day so my kids do not notice. I feel ashamed even though the company cut a whole team. 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.
