Telling my partner I lost my job, HR coordinator here

My spouse does not know yet that I was let go as an HR coordinator. There are 9 people counting on me, so I am trying to be careful. Bills are coming up and I cannot keep this quiet. Did it get easier afterwards?

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

Keep everything in writing and save the confirmation numbers. It made the follow-up calls so much easier.
