Suicides - what happens afterwards?

What do you think happens to suicides after death?  Do you think they go on to the beautiful other side to be counseled and helped through it?  Do they come right back to repeat their life with the same obstacles (kind of like dropping out of school and having to repeat the course to graduate)?  Are they stuck in this world as a ghost and not allowed through?  Are they condemned to a bad place?

{{{ Because moving from one existence to another is a drastic change, we sure can't do it alone. }}}


It's bigger than any change in our life, don't you think?

I agree with this too, one day all our questions will be answered, and we will be able to see a complete picture of our life.

Cara, you said <<<< I really hope my dogs are there to greet me when I die (if they go before me, lol).>>>>>
ya know maybe I'm crazy but I do believe they will be there for you - no matter who goes first. I do believe that animals are like us in spirit...they do go to the afterworld like we do.
Does anyone think that plants do too? - They are alive. I'm not sure about this one - inbetween on it. Partly think that it's just silly and partly think why not? LOL just wondering.

I think that after suicide, like after a natural death, you are eventually reincarnated into another form of being. Your soul is confused, though, because you didn't complete your karmic destiny due to your premature death, and you exist in an altered or different state of consciousness until your soul finds its new dwelling place.

I think the plants over there are even more beautiful then here, so I would say a big yes!

I just started to check out this board because the topics of faith and spirituality are of great interest to me, and the first message thread I see is this one! Are there no coincidences? My life-partner, with whom I shared 8 years, committed suicide almost 5 years ago. The anniversary is coming up (!/11/00) and the holidays are still difficcult for me. I was with her and went through the worst of times up until the day she died. From very early on I had to believe she was in a better place, whatever that is, and I still do. I have no idea what really happens after we die, but as a physician with tons (and tons) of courses in science, I certainly don't believe everything just ends there. At the very least, energy doesn't just stop, it transforms, and I guess I believe

peace and love,

Thanks Cara!


I also believe that we are here for a reason, and that each person has his or her own path to follow, and the end result of our (current??) human existence is death, but how we get there or when is likely not under our control, and I guess I believe that in suicides as well. Just like the son who was killed in an automobile accident or the child who dies from an illness and everyone grieves and says how tragic it is that they died so young, maybe that was their path and how it was supposed to end/move on, that they had come to the end of their current journey at the right and perfect time according

peace and love,

I lost my only sister to suicide this summer.it was very hard on us.she loved this time of year and was always ready early. She always seemed happy so this came as a shock. We found christmas gifts and planned gifts on her buget in her private papers. what happened we will never know, but heres what happened afterwards,She died friday, Sunday night after cleaning out her apt, we stopped in at my Moms, she was due for surgery the nect day.It was midnight when we opened the front door to leave, and there on the porch floating around was a beautiful monarch butterfly.(When my dad died i had written a poem about how it is like a chysalis and we emerge in new form like a butterfly on the otherside. We took it as a sign. Sundays is the day we always gathered at moms for a family meal.Yesterday, while we were talking, the letter slot started making noise like someone was flipping it up and down. I ran to the door but there were no flyers or anyone there,and there was no way they could leave that quickly. not even anyone on the street. My mom has lived there 40yrs. and it has never done that on its own before but it is wierd because that is the signal we used to let mom know it was either me or my sister at the door. no-one else knew that. Mom said it had happened that same way that morning earlier. we talked today about it and she said what I was thinking ...that it was her way of saying shes still around. I found that comforting. thank-you for letting me share my experience. Dory.
