I strongly believe that ultimately, we all find our way back home.

But of course there can be a few detours.

Objectively, suicide is usually a negative act, leaving sorrow and unresolved feelings with those living.

But it seems to me that most of the people who commit suicide are quite clearly in the grip of circumstances and mental states that drastically reduce their ability to make free and reasonable choices. So I would expect some kind of healing experience to be appropriate.
