Unfortunately because of the stigma that various institutions have put on this act, it will also effect the people left behind. Not just from the pain of losing a loved one but the ridicule of others for not being able to have helped the person involved. The pain can go on for the survivors for a long time because of all the whispered conversations that people have about the situation. <br /><br />Remember that no matter what we try to do to help we have no control over anothers actions & we need to help the people left behind without judgment.<br /><br />I personally don't believe in a God that punishes so I refuse to believe that no matter the reasons behind this act that they won't be accepted as the beautiful being & energy they are.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing,<br /><br />BillTimberwolf123https://www.blogger.com/profile/09164604176090216229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2268899532765277475.post-78988861242347485132010-02-11T08:53:13.427-08:002010-02-11T08:53:13.427-08:00Hello Beth,

I know first hand what a difficult road that can be. <br /><br />Blessings to you.Irma Kaye Sawyerhttp://www.irmaksawyer.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2268899532765277475.post-71561273353237475082010-02-10T17:48:46.668-08:002010-02-10T17:48:46.668-08:00Irma, read this last night, wanted to post, but ha...Irma, read this last night, wanted to post, but had to ponder. I am one of two cancer free members of my family. Cancer has taken the others. They never asked to be released but I don't think they ever asked for the painful quality of their lives at the end. I would not have second guessed them for a second if they had asked nor held back my hand. What caused me to ponder is suicide apart from these types of situations. I have no theological or philosophical reasons to judge it as 'bad.' I have only the deepest most innate hope in my soul that perhaps if we listened a bit better we might have heard their cry before it reached that point. But even if we do hear, the choice is still their choice. I guess my quandry is not so much the deed as the loss of a beautiful but pained soul. Anyway.... thanks for the post, it gave me pause more than once today to listen a bit harder.Beth Chapmanhttp://hopesbreath.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2268899532765277475.post-24883843971386151862010-02-10T02:40:04.587-08:002010-02-10T02:40:04.587-08:00I have always said and firmly believed that it tak...I have always said and firmly believed that it takes a huge amount of courage to take the final step of completing a suicide. I have also been a strong proponent for the freedom to choose to end life for those stricken with debilitating, degenerative disease - I do not see how that type of choice could cause severe negative karma to ensue. Thanks for sharing this communication, I.K. I will look forward to more!<br /><br />~ DawnHealing Morninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03236609802381940498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2268899532765277475.post-38346219450660929462010-02-09T18:30:47.051-08:002010-02-09T18:30:47.051-08:00Well said Aine.

Intention and focus play an important role in the direction of energy and where it goes, how it acts; including the focus of intention of where one goes in the "afterlife". Thoughts are powerful things and they are the beginnings of creation. What we think with focus and intention, we create.<br /><br />AineAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
