Hang on in there- you can see from the other posts that you are not alone in this. We may feel unlovable, but that isnt an accurate perception- the distress/depression cruelly distorts thinking.
If you can recognise that just a little, and not believe yourself too much, it helps.It is essential to stay around for your kids if at all possible. Apart from the appalling grief, you could also burden them with an increased risk of suicide themselves later in their lives (the risk increases once one person has set the precedent).
I do hope you have someone you can talk to who supports you at this tough time- as well as posting here whenever you like,of course. It can get better- honestly! I've been at that stage of dreading each long, painful minute, and having to focus on getting thru one hour at a time. And on getting out of bed in the morning. Now I am fine and life is easy, and even fun at times!
Take care and please hang on.
