Will my family know it was a suicide?

[Oppenheimer]

I´ve been reading about "peaceful" methods like N (can´t get it) SN (easy to obtain) and Phenobarbital (VERY easy to obtain for me) were you can drink it and go to bed and don´t wake up. However no one says if when they find you it looks like you had a natural death or if it´s obvious it was a suicide. Because I can´t burden my family with the fact that I ctb. A natural death would break their hearts, but suicide may be too much for them, specially my mum. If so, I will have to wait she go before.

Depends how old you are, will they do an autopsy? It will put you so sleep forever but after some investigation on their part I think they'll realize you ctb. This is my problem too, I don't want to burden my mother with my suicide.

I´m 40 and healthy. Don´t know if there would be an autopsy...

Eh, I'd say if your family loved you they'd do an autopsy. People don't usually fall asleep forever for no reason.

An autopsy is almost always done. Doctors will understand that it was a poisoning without an autopsy. An autopsy will help them determine what exactly caused the poisoning and death, what dose of the drug was taken - they will find out that, for example, 15 grams of phe-nobarbital was taken and they realized that it was almost impossible to take so much accidentally, therefore it was done intentionally.
