Thank you all for the advice. It did help. I realized that I had to tell them the truth because our families still hang around together and they were bound to hear something anyway. And they want to go to the funeral. I also explained to my son why I was anxious about telling him. The discussion was fairly assuring and I think this has helped him to see the reality of suicide. (A little secret that I could never tell anyone in my real life... I am envious of Aaron, his pain is over). Take care.
