What happens to someone who dies by suicide — are they punished, or met with compassion?

“I always wondered where she went because, you know, you grew up in church, church teaches you that if you commit suicide, it's an act of murder, you go to hell. Well, it's not. It's not an act of murder. God, our Father, he's so compassionate. He's so, he doesn't judge us the way we judge each other. He knew she was going through deep depression, he knew her heart, and there she was in heaven.”23:27

“But those who met suicide, what's their, what's the common occurrence for that? The common occurrence for that is they don't easily transition back into unconditional love because they have a lot of guilt with them. That's true of people who commit suicide because they are in the overwhelm situation, they just can't deal with life. If they're committing suicide because it's a contract they did with their family and associates to let the family and associates have some type of an experience, then they generally go immediately into the light.”35:41

“Yeah, kind of like, what, what, what's your spiritual insight on what happens after a person commits suicide?”22:52

“You could think of any question and knew the answer immediately. I asked if suicide didn't send you to hell, and I instantly knew that you ended up with them the same way. Differences: the pain you feel when reviewing your life. If your loved ones suffered for the remainder of their life on Earth, you would have a harder time forgiving yourself.”16:36

“I also learned that when people commit suicide, it delays their spiritual growth. They need healing when they arrive on the other side. An angel or glowing being told me that in my NDE, due to the suicide of a friend of my son who lived with us, I had always wondered about suicide and whether the spirit of the deceased was healed. The incident had troubled me deeply. I was reassured by the belief that people who commit suicide are taken to a place like a hospital to heal.”8:17

“That, uh, when we die, even with suicide, we're met with love. There are lessons to be learned. You know, it's still a major no-no, but it's not like you're gonna burn in hell forever. Like I said, I've never heard that from a suicide attempt. I've talked to plenty. This has become like a sub-specialty of mine. Um, we are met by, often in my research, 75% of the people I've interviewed have been met by a deceased loved one, and they all look great, like in their late 20s, early 30s, like at the peak of their physicality.”52:07

“There are people listening who have lost a loved one to suicide, and they are worried that they're being punished.”21:50

“This young man, two weeks after the fact, I found out he had committed suicide, and the family was very distraught. And so I meditated, and I asked for guidance, and I went into this realm. It's kind of a light gray realm, and I found this man, this young man walking, and he was crying, his head was down. And then I walked up to him, I put my arms around his shoulder, and I explained to him what he said. He had committed suicide, and he feels horrible and guilty and very sad. I invited Christ in, and he came in on my right side and put his hand on my shoulder and said, 'I'll take him from here.'”30:29

“And I'm wondering because you mentioned it, can you share a little bit more about souls who commit suicide, what happens to them?”25:59

“Do you have any experience from your NDE about what happens to people who die from suicide?”32:40

“I have a couple of comments actually. Um, in my readings about near-death experiences and past lives and whatnot, one of the things I picked up is that people, and I've had two members of my family have committed suicide on my mother's side, and, um, so what I picked up is that the person who passes due to the suicide, um, gets to goes to a special place on the other side where they are really nurtured, because clearly they've gone through a lot of trouble themselves to have committed the act.”101:40

“heard that, you know, people who do commit suicide, they're not punished for it, but they do go on the other side to an area where they they're helped to recover because not only have they shortened their own lives, they've actually impacted everybody else's life that they contracted to be part of uh lives. So what do you what do you have to say about suicide in general regarding that? I have lots of thoughts. So you know um well I want to reference one book because it really helped me. So like at first I thought that the suicide”71:15

“Um, and you know, I don't know what other process you go through around that, but it's more of a self-acceptance of who you are. And because I've seen, like, the person that I lost, um, through suicide, it was a person very, very close to me, and that person has shown me their process. And they, in life, were a person that was extremely depressed, had a very difficult life, went through a lot of hardship, and by the last two years of their life really had given up and just was miserable. Nothing made them happy and no one could help them, and believe me, they got so much help.”28:58

“I also know from my own experiences that, you know, we don't die alone. No one dies alone. I want to say that. I don't care what they've been through, care about suicide. I don't care what it is. They don't die alone. They are loved and they are given pure love as they transition over.”48:27

“When my parents first died, I know that a lot of people who experience loss from suicide, they feel really guilty. They're like, "What could I have done? I've been to, you know, hundreds of suicide support groups in my life, and people are always saying, "I could have done something. I could have done more. How did I not know that it was going to happen?"”22:36

“that when we die, we would be punished. Unfortunately, I was just never sure about the severity of what wrong meant in heaven's terms. Contrary to my belief system, the light never judged me. I was made to judge myself. Another important part of my life's review demanded that I feel the same emotional pain others felt whenever I hurt their feelings with actions or words. By seeing other people's hearts and knowing how they were affected, it caused me to feel remorseful and ashamed. Thankfully, after the experience ended,”9:17
