Does a person who took their own life go to a bad place?
I get this question a lot. The answer is no. They cross over and are picked up by their family members. They go through their own healing and truly find peace. I do more suicide readings more than anyone I know. I always have since I started working as a psychic medium. It’s not because it has become more prevalent in recent years, I have always just seen and heard them very clearly. It has become my specialty slowly over the last 15 years, but not by choice as no one is allowed to give me any information before a reading. I believe it is because they see that I don’t generalize them. I really listen to the reasons why, so honestly, I think they find me.
There are no 2 suicides alike. We are all unique people with own unique struggles and circumstances though there can be commonalities like being abused, or a tough upbringing, a feeling of being defeated in life, or severe depression that far too many people experience every day in this world.
They will come through and give you answers and there is the opportunity to connect and understand one another in a reading. I had one woman’s husband come forward and he wanted to pass a message on to his son, “Be better than me”. She told me after that was the last text he sent to his son. The one that always stuck in my head and that still brings me tears is a son who came through for his mom. He showed me that he had a terrible relationship with is dad, which his mother confirmed. He then threw his hands in the air and screamed “Can you hear me now dad?!” My heart sunk, we both cried, but she said, that is definitely my son and that is how he felt. Now, you may think, is he still angry? No, he was showing where he was at when it happened as a validation. But, they were allowed the space for healing and he showed his love for him mom, and that it wasn’t her fault. Now, he was not blaming his father, so don’t misunderstand. He knew this was a relationship that he did not have the tools to repair and did not have the strength to ask for help at the time. It was a rash decision in the heat of a moment, not planned.
People who pass from suicide do not come forward to place blame. They understand what happened, but they will be honest about the circumstances that led them there. They do not hold resentment or anger towards anyone. They come forward with it to not only explain their side, but to give clarity to those they left behind. Some are very regretful about what they did, some have no regrets and are grateful to be there.
I will tell you, the people I tell that their loved one has no regret and is truly in a better place,…they all agree as usually it was something people saw coming and knew this person had been struggling for year and years. They were truly never going to get out of whatever it was like drug addiction, extreme depression, or extreme physical pain. Some have taken their life due to an extreme illness that was too mcuh for them, and they did not want to be a burden on their family. Of course, they would not have been, but that was their way of giving the gift of not wanting their family to suffer watching them.
Know that they are ok and not suffering. We all find peace in the end.
