If there are suitable custodial figures within the family -- a surviving spouse, parents, they can petition that the childrens' custody revert to them. Without such available custodians, custody of minor children will typically resort to the State.

As to the trauma of suicide for surviving kids, the results depend a lot of the age and maturity of the child. Children too young to comprehend will be effected later in life, but may remain somewhat unscathed. However, children who comprehend the act (or worse, witness it or it's aftermath) are typically traumatized. The extent of this damage can range from what I'd call moderate all the way to very extreme,

In any case, suicide often casts a shadow on the remainder survivors' lives.
