Do kids ever get over suicide of a parent?

Thank you to anyone who was going to offer the helpful links for books and groups and counselling, etc., but I already have all those. I've been reading a lot. I guess I just wanted to talk to people who may have first-hand experience (if anyone with such experience actually wants to share - I understand if not).

I feel like it's a life sentence. I've read about all the potential negative outcomes. Is there any way children can live a normal/good life after this?

Hello OP, we are really sorry to hear you are feeling this way. We are also sorry if we are reading this wrong but we hope you don't mind, but when these threads are flagged up to us we usually add a link to our Mental Health resources.
You can also go to the Samaritans website, or email them on [email protected]. Support from other Mumsnetters is great and we really hope you will be able to take some comfort from your fellow posters, but as other MNers will tell you, it's really a good idea to seek RL help and support as well.

We also like to remind everyone that, although we're awed daily by the astonishing support our members give each other through life's trickier twists and turns, we'd always caution anyone never to give more of themselves to another poster, emotionally or financially, than they can afford to spare.
