Personally i believe we all ascend as beautiful free spirits eventually, i dont believe in purgitory or hell.
I know that if a spirit is troubled enough in life, it will not continue to be punnished after its passed on.
I believe we do have to face our own demons so to speak to be able to move forward and forgiveness of oneself and those that are left behind can and do delay the moving on process.
As far as some religions go, they state that a suicide victim cannot enter the kingdom of god and will not be excepted in his pressence, well personally i know that to be a load of old poppy cock.
Suicide is devastating enough for the people left behind that they do not need to be punnished further by such actions. The disgrace is not theirs, the loss is so leave them alone.
Sorry for the rant, please feel free to comment either way xxx
