It is essential that widows talk to their children when their loved ones die from suicide. Without a doubt talking to them will be one of the most difficult tasks you face but it is essential for their healing.
The more information you read and support you get, the more prepared you will be to talk to your children. Don't hesitate to ask for help and reach out to local organizations that specialize in suicide.
A great article to read is by Paddy Kutz, Executive Director of Mental Health America of Licking County about talking to children when there is a suicide in the family.
