Telling my partner I lost my job - what worked for you?

My spouse does not know yet that I was let go as a nurse's aide. I want a plan before I speak.

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

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.
