Telling my partner I lost my job (update)

I was laid off 12 weeks ago and have not told my family because I do not want them to worry. There are 15 people counting on me, so I am trying to be careful. 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 5 months ago, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
