Does GOD Forgive & Accept Our Loved One?
“To make the last millisecond of a person’s life so supremely important is to misunderstand both the worth of our lives and the forgiveness of God. Our lives aren’t games of high-stakes poker, where one final hand can wipe you out.
God judges our lives in their totality. If we accept the premise that God’s nature is one of steadfast love and mercy, then we must say with Barth:
‘If there is forgiveness of sins at all,
there is surely forgiveness for suicide.’
A favorite quote from the pamphlet Mourning After Suicide by Lois Bloom (taken from After Suicide by John Hewitt)
Suicide is not chosen; It happens when pain exceeds resources for coping with pain. ~ David L. Conroy
“You may feel rage at the perpetrator, while your heart breaks for the victim. The irony is that they are one and the same.” ~ Author Unknown
“I will remind myself the choice was not mine, and no one person has sole influence on another’s life.” Part of healing from the loss of someone you love is to recover the “you” that went away with them. ~ Author Unknown
