Suicide is an important topic, but a hard one to discuss for most people. Most everyone knows someone who has committed suicide, even some may have considered it for themselves.
People wonder what happens to those who commit suicide in the afterlife. I'll get into that, but first, I want to point out some signs you can look for to know when a person is considering suicide; these signs just might help you to save them.
But, also, keep in mind that if a person has their mind set on taking their life, there is nothing anyone can do... they will do it, so no one should ever feel guilty that a loved one took their life.
I've had suicide prevention training, so I would like to give you some signs to look for. A lot of times the signs are there, but people are too busy with their own personal lives to notice. Start noticing!! If you even have the slightest clue that someone is thinking of suicide, ask them if everything is okay... get them talking. You can pick up clues from the conversation.
The may something like:
"I can't do anything right."
"I just can't keep my thoughts straight anymore."
"I can't take it anymore."
"I wish I were dead."
"Everyone will be better off without me."
"All my problems will end soon."
"No one can do anything to help me now"
"I won't be needing these anymore."
"Now I know what they were going through."
They may exhibit feelings of desperation, anger, guilt, worthlessness, loneliness, sadness, hopelessness, or helplessness.
They might lose interest in their appearance, change/loss of interest in sex, have disturbed sleep, change/loss of appetite, or have physical health complaints.
They may start giving away their personal possessions, become withdrawn, lose interest in hobbies, abuse alcohol/drugs, exhibit reckless behavior or have extreme behavior changes, become impulsive, or begin to practice self-mutilation.
If you notice ANY of the signs above in someone, please connect with that person to find out what's going on. Until you have had training on how to talk someone out of preventing suicide, it is best to just let the experts do the talking. But, you should mention reasons that the person has to keep living, for instance: family left behind, friends would miss them, etc. Give them a reason to consider that suicide would be a bad idea until they can get help.
Give the person the number for the suicide prevention hotline in your state and make sure they call, or get them an appointment with a health care specialist as soon as possible. You may have to do this for them to see that it gets done.
Okay. Now, on to the one's that did commit suicide.
What happens to their soul/spirit after death? Some people think suicide is an automatic sentence to hell, but that is mostly Western beliefs in Christianity.
I disagree.

There are more Q&A on the source page, if you would like to read them.
I have seen videos of people who say they had a NDE and went to "hell", but came back. They then make a sudden turn around from the life they had been living and go on to accomplish great things for the good of all.
I'm convinced this is a personal spiritual lesson for those people, confronting the negative aspects of their life head on in the spiritual realm. I'm further convinced that once those negative aspects have been dealt with, they go to what some people call "heaven". I don't think a loving God would leave anyone in hell to "burn for all eternity". That's just not the God I serve!!
To back up my beliefs, I saw a show on, I Survived... Beyond and Back, several years ago where a lady died and was greeted by her aunt who had committed suicide. They were in a wonderful place where she felt peace and love. She asked her aunt why she ended her life, and her aunt told her "she made a mistake, she shouldn't have done that because now she will have to go back and reincarnate on earth again to learn those lessons she was meant to learn."
I hope this has enlightened you on suicide prevention, and what happens to those who do go through with it.
Please share with anyone who you feel might gain comfort from this information.

Q. My son died of suicide, depressed, and addicted. What was his life review like? Was he instantly healed of those issues or does he have something to do before he finds peace? Is he okay now?
A. First of all I want to thank you for having the courage to ask this question. As I said before, suicide is the skeleton in all of our closets. I’m going to answer your questions from the point of view of my experience as a medium, dealing with suicides, and not as a counselor or therapist.
Whenever I have a session during which a soul who has crossed himself over comes through, one of the first things he wants to assure his loved ones of is the fact that he is at peace and safely in the arms of God. Whatever torment caused him to choose to end his live here no longer exists for him on the Other Side. Souls have said that the Eternal Light of Love understands that those who take their own lives didn’t want to die as much as they wanted only to end their torment. These souls simply don’t have the strength or desire to continue any longer in this life than they have to. Many of these precious souls have said during my sessions with them that even though they functioned in a way that allowed them to get through the day “normally,” their mental torment was a huge factor in their decision.
Your son was not judged for what he did nor was he condemned to “hell.” It’s quite the opposite, actually. Based on what the souls have said to me before, he may have been taken to a place where he could reflect, and heal, from the anguish that he had endured and had thought there was no way out of. During this time and in this place, there is no one to get in his face, so to speak. His companions during this period will be small creatures such as birds, rabbits, kittens, puppies, cats, and dogs as well as other animals that are there to help the healing process by offering unconditional love to souls such as your son’s.
Only when he is strong enough, will relatives, friends, and guides appear to help him understand and learn what he needs to know to continue on his spiritual journey. Christ also appears, not as a judge, but more as a consoler, helping him through his hurt and confusion over what he’s done.
God doesn’t make mistakes, but understands when we do. The souls have told me over and over that suicide is a mistake on the part of those who have ended their time here in this way. It’s a blunder they committed in their confusion. They take complete responsibility for what they’ve done and insist that there’s nothing for their loved ones, who are still here, to feel guilty about.
Finally, your son would want you to know that you will be reunited with him on the Other Side, when you’ve learned the lessons you’re here to learn, and not see suicide as a way to speed up the reunion. Until then he will continue to be with you as your “guardian angel,” never abandoning you or leaving your side. He will continue doing the best he can to help you understand that everything which happens in this life benefits you in the next—even surviving the tragedy of his suicide.
