A few years ago a similar thing happened to one of my friends, they would never exibit any problems but occasionaly they would talk about suicide. We all tried to get to the bottom of it and help.
At the end of the day the only person that could help him was himself. One evening after a row in the pub he steped in front of a car.
No one can imagine the feelings you have now. You'll always feel responsible for younger siblings, but at some point they start making their own choices.
The future is exactly that, no one knows what is going to happen tomorrow, next week or next year. Don't push yourself, things will start to come into focus in time - you have obvisously dealt with a lot in the past and seem to have handled it well. You'll handle this too but you can't rush the way you have to deal with this.
I think you are right to share this, and that there is very little anyone can say. I was compelled to respond i can't imagine how you must feel right now but wanted to offer some thoughts.
The act of sharing immediately relieves some of the pressure.
There are always people willing to help even if it is from the end of a keyboard.
Hang in there, give yourself time to breathe, your work will wait and you can make your future what you want it to be.
