Default suicide survivor

Last year my daughter and I walked into her home and found her husband had hung himself from the ceiling fan. I know he was already dead but we got him down & started C.P.R and kept this up until we did get his pulse back. Unfortunatly he died 7 days later. Today my daughter has still not dealt with his death. My son in law and daughter also had 5 children together with her being 4 months pregnant at the time of his death. Everyday we deal with one of the kids asking questions or looking up and say daddy's in heaven with jesus. Sometimes it's hard because I still see the way he was when we walked in, or what more could we have done so that he would be here today. My daughter still cries which I know she misses him but we all miss him and I just tell her you & I gave him his last breath we allowed him to have 1 more week what we need to do is make sure the children or taken care of. He was 24 when he died and so the children don't get alot each month which makes it so hard for her to survive which leaves me working 3 jobs & christmas to make sure these children have christmas and or not left out. So I know the hurt that anyone fills and I can only say you will never forget it but it just seems the pain & hurt eases up a little at a time.
