Shining a positive light on suicide

Today I wanted to talk a little bit about loved ones in spirit who have committed suicide.

I have to be honest and say that I used to think that spirits who had committed suicide where a darker energy to work with, however, I have very much changed my thoughts on this. Here is my public apology to anyone I may have offended with these previous comments and I hope that one day you connect with your loved ones.

So, here is what I believe, at the end of the day we are all going to pass. It’s the only thing guaranteed in life, the big question is how?

We all hope to pass by being asleep in our beds and drifting to the spirit world, however, that kind of passing is really not an option for a majority of people.
So what is so different about a suicide.
I have to touch on my personal experience on this one about my own journey and of those I have had the pleasure of meeting on the other side.

First I want to clear something up, suicide is not a selfish act, it is just another form of passing that is sudden or unexpected, just the same as a car accident. I don’t believe that there is a major difference between passing in an accident or taking matters into your own hands when it comes to how you will be welcomed or treated in the spirit world. The only difference is the healing journey in spirit is different, and suicides I do believe need more healing that someone who has had an accident for example.

So, why do people feel the need to take their own life. I can’t speak for everyone, but if I look at my own battle, it’s because life just gets so hard and there is that longing to be back to a place of peace and love. I want to approach this from a spiritual point of view. I think that people who have a battle with suicide, are rather sensitive souls, and they feel energies of people and the earth more than others may. On a subconscious level, I believe that these people have a clear recollection of what the spirit world is like and have a drawing to go back there. Life on Earth feels very heavy and complicated, and the soul has this pulling to be back ‘home’. I can honestly say that when I get myself in one of my episodes that there is nothing that makes me want to stay, it doesn’t matter about my kids or anything else of significance of my life, I just want to go. I have had many close calls, but for some reason it’s not quite my time and spirit always seems to intervene. It really is the only thing that stops me.

It can be hard for you to understand this concept if you yourself have never had suicidal thoughts, and I understand that it can be hard to comprehend that even the thought of leaving your kids behind to take your own life isn’t enough to stop someone from doing this. However, this is the reality of it. I do believe that these suicidal thoughts do not come from a conscious level, but more from a subconscious level, hence why people or situations in life might not be enough to stop from someone passing int his way.

I personally love connecting with spirits who have committed suicide because I can relate to their battle. And since I have accepted my own journey and tried to understand this from a spiritual level I feel that I am able to help both these spirits and their loved ones still in the living. Most of the time, spirits who have committed suicide can be reluctant to come through as there is a bit of ‘guilt’ and ‘resentment’ about the grief they have caused for their loved ones. This is where as a medium I come in and help with the grief and healing on both sides. However, your loved ones who have committed suicide are not a darker energy or bad entities, they are just like any other spirit who may have passed of an illness for example. Suicide spirits just need to be treated with a bit more kindness and made to feel comfortable to explain their story and explain their healing journey.

I’m no expert, this is just my understanding or belief at this stage, but I really want to change the view on how suicide is viewed. I know it hurts and I can’t begin to explain how sorry I am if you have to experience losing a loved one in this way, however, I hope that you can help them on their healing journey by forgiving them and allowing them to share their story with you. It’s not going to bring them back, but it’s going to help both you and them to clear the air and bring love back to the situation.
So, if you are someone who is contemplating taking your own life, please know I understand your journey and battle, and if this is something you choose to do, please know that there is no justice to face on the other side, however, if you can work through this pain you feel, you will feel much better for it, call upon spirit to help you.
On the other hand, my sincere apologies if you have lost a loved one due to suicide, and I hope that you can see that they are not any different to any other loved one in the spirit world, and I hope that one day you give yourself and them the opportunity to connect to help the healing process.
