Scary. Keep an eye on your kids... make sure they feel comfortable talking about it if they need to. Counselling might be a good idea if they were close with any of the people who commited suicide.

We've got a rotten vein of depression in my father's family... 3 suicides in 2 generations.

Interesting points moneyguy1... My father says there were for more suicides in the past than most people realize. Most were described as accidents or "untimely deaths".
