Among people that believe in an afterlife, do you believe that the way you die matters? Or do you think as long as you live a good life, you will end up in the same place, no matter how you die?

I wish i believed in an afterlife, but I think its like war, it doesnt justify who wins, just who’s left
Hi Jo — I reckon When you close your eyes that’s it . Nothing more . I cant believe you turn into another life form . I think it’s more like a battery running out of power -The end . I don’t think it would matter if you were a murderer or a Saint . I think the end is just the same for everybody – Lights out baby – I can’t be 100% sure as Nobody has ever come back to chat about it .. Don’t overthink it Jo . It is what it is mate .. Oh, if you have a rich family you could be made into a diamond .. That would be a nice comeback maybe . all the best ..MM..
If there really was nothing, I would be ok with it. I have had a few experiences that lead me to believe otherwise. I’m not totally convinced that there is, but the last thing I want to do is commit suicide if it doesn’t end the suffering we experience in life.
I want to be turned into a tree.. I doubt my family would go for it though.
After your body dies, your soul lives on. After my son killed himself in the woods six months ago, his soul drew me to visit him for the first month after his death. After that, I did not feel a pull to come to the edge of the woods just before nightfall and I no longer feel him when I walk by there. I went from feeling his peace and him telling me he is happy and at peace to now just having nightmares and pain. Obviously we don’t know what will happen until we die.
“For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I have been fully known.”
I think people who kill themselves might be forced to look at how their suicide affected other people and how the world would have turned out differently if they had lived. Maybe with some people, it was actually their time.
I don’t know. But I do know I miss my son and I wish someone on this site had convinced him to stay and find out what another day would bring. He was 21 and he was a sweet, good person who made a lot of people happy. I am sorry he thought suicide was the answer to his problems. I wish I could turn back time and figure out how to make him stay so I wouldn’t have to live the rest of my life heartbroken.
Your story is horrible Drewmom0530.. This is how hurting ones self can hurt others .. This is when I do a complete back flip on everything I say here . I am truly sorry for you and your son .. .. I myself don’t have any body to hurt long term … My situation is a lot different . If only people got the right help, the correct meds right from day one maybe things would be different for everybody and families around them .. I know this can’t help you in any way . Just know I can feel your sadness through your text above .. I wish I could change the world for you ….
