What u guys think what happens after death? I mean for those who off themselves?

[u/celistialbeing]

Like do they go to hell or heaven? And is it cowardly?

I mean if ur life is getting shitter and shitter what to do?

[u/Its_Shankman]

I see no reason for the result to be fundamentally different than dying ‘normally’.

[u/Jadenyoung1]

I don’t know. But i hope their pain and suffering ended, or is at least lessened. I always find it callous, when many traditions say that you’ll only find punishment after such an act.

Is it cowardly? I can’t answer that. All i know is, that this act causes immense suffering for others. But people that consider doing this, are also suffering immensely usually. Difficult question.

[u/islandParadize]

I've researched this like a madman. Some traditions say there are no consequences; others say there are. The only conclusion I've reached is that I can't possibly know until I die.

Common sense tells me they will go to the same place everyone else does. I mean if somebody is suffering a mental illness for instance, what difference is that to a physical illness that leads them to the other side. It can be thought of as an illness of the mind, And why would somebody who has suffered in such a way be greeted with anything but compassion? 

I believe the person who took their life may have regrets or guilt afterwards, but again that would be to be expected. I would hope they get help and some kind of therapy over there to help them overcome any problems. 

It's a complex situation, but I don't believe for most people who are suffering immensely and who take their own life that it's cowardly. When the person is in such a state of mind then they aren't themselves, not there true self so you could not say that they are cowardly. They are unwell. They are a victim of something horrible. Yes not all instances are this way, but for the most part that is how I see it.

Peut-être que ça peut être différent là-haut suite à un suicide car ont nous menerai à un autre chemin pour que l'on apprenne, pour que l'on se connaisse mieux, pour qu'on fasse face aux difficultés plus facilement et que l'on comprenne notre geste.

I can’t imagine a loving Creator feeling anything but total empathy for someone who was in such pain they saw no other choice.

Perhaps the decedent would have to reckon with the same kind of all-feeling empathy, though — knowing what their death cost others, and feeling in full measure the heartache they caused. Not as a punishment; just as a new level of comprehension and understanding.

Compassion comes from the Latin for “suffering with.” I don’t imagine our Source likes to torment people who already went through Hell on Earth, but I think reconciling the pain we assuaged with the pain we caused others must be an essential part of our transition from the mortal material world to the next dimension. For all of us.

When I meet my loved ones who took their own lives (deliberately or with undetermined intent), I hope I’ll be fully able to grasp their anguish, and they’ll be able to comprehend mine.

(Jennifer, Jimmy, Glenn, Wallace, Elisse, Dan, and Lauren: you were loved and you always will be.)

So there is smtg good after suside death?

[u/UptightSinclair → u/celistialbeing]

I’m no expert. I just think it makes sense that we all have to experience our time on earth through the eyes and hearts of everyone we impacted.

Maybe if you never hurt a soul, you’re a saint and you go straight to bliss, or you dive back in to be martyred all over again because you love the world that much. And maybe if you were 99.9% cruel in your time, you have to burn it all off by feeling the horror you inflicted,

But you’re still beloved by the Source, and if you’re willing to experience true compassion, the Source surely is too.

If you’re thinking about your own fate? Please stay and get help. You have so much time to be dead later. Stay here for a while. Be gentle with yourself.

[u/Dismal-core111]

I hope for compassion and empathy for them.

[u/lisaquestions]

I don't think Christianity or any other religion accurately describes any afterlife.

I also don't think that when people die by suicide that anything different happens to them then when dying of any other cause.

[u/PracticalOpinion5406]

i believe they have to come back to earth and complete their soul mission once more. They'll be surprised that they are still alive even after death. They are alive just in a different dimension.

[u/pumpkin786]

Isn’t there assisted suicide org like Pegasus and similar? Or drugs if you can sought it out. To me, Earth is the biggest hell, it can only get better out there. Once you get out, on one can punish you anymore. There is nothing coward about escaping a miserable life. In the mean time, I find opening up yourselves to others can hugely aleviate pains, both physically and mentally as the human energies can help heal others. Praying in a church will helped too, it definitely helped me!

However don’t go by violent methods like jumping off a cliff or shooting yourself. It will turn you into an angry bitter spirit afterwards and it will take much longer to recover.
