[quote=Anonymous]Haven’t they asked how he died? If so, what did you say? My mom died of cancer long before I was married and my kids started asking why she died when they were around 6. I think your kids are old enough to know that your dad took his own life due to mental illness, addiction, whatever the case. I wouldn’t necessarily go into a lot of detail about the specifics until they’re a bit older. I also wouldn’t bring it up unless they ask or something occurs that might serve as a good segue—especially if it relates to mental health. [/quote]
