We've been separated over 4 years but spoke almost every day. He looked after the children in my house while i worked. I hadn't heard from him in a few days and his phone was off so i asked the police to break in, no one else had keys. They did and found him. Its surreal. I'm so lost.

I'm very sorry for your loss Flowers I too saw your post yesterday. I'm relieved for you that the police found him, and not a family member.
Very best wishes to you

Oh you poor thing, my heart felt sympathy goes out to you. I know you will be so brave for your children because that's what mother's do. But please look after yourself too. Know that this will get easier, minute by minute, hour by hour, one baby step at a time. Sending you a huge hug Flowers.

It looks like it was a sudden heart attack. Post mortem has been done so just waiting to hear. The children know but don't understand, they both have autism and ID. Ive told them but they didn't really respond.

Oh gosh I saw your post yesterday, so glad you managed to get the police to go and check on him, at least you know. There are some very good story books on bereavement for young children, which we used with my son when my mum died - good for helping young children vocalise their loss

Oh you poor thing OP.
My BiL died suddenly years ago, some similar circumstances. It was awful but it didn't destroy the lives of his kids or his ex; they are all ok now and living well. People are amazingly resilient.
Sending very heartfelt good wishes your way.

@FreeBritnee

Oh my gosh I'm so sorry OP. I read your post yesterday and hoped your worries were unfounded. What a time to make the decision to end your life. So heartbreaking.

I don't think it was a decision taken, it was a heart attack.
