A friend of mine committed suicide recently.
Basically they had a brain operation to remove a non malignant cancer. Their behaviour then became abnormal. It was like there was a disconnect between the words they said and the emotions you would associate with them. Later they were diagnosed as psychotic and this was characterised by violence towards the doctor trying to help them and some really foul language. This person was no saint and she did not believe in God so I fear that when she jumped off that balcony in a public place she sent herself to hell.
I am trying to understand what happened and trying to provide some kind of comfort to relatives involved. To be honest I have no idea what to say or even how to act in this situation. What words of comfort can you give when you think someone went to hell. What positive message can come out of this? Maybe she was not fully herself in those final moments but was it demons that hurled her over the balcony or just a seriously dysfunctional consciousness?
