Committing suicide is contrary to God's plan. This said, I believe that God is merciful and forgiving.

I CAN understand when people are terminally ill (or even chronically ill) and end their lives. They just want the pain to end.

For those that are not seriously ill and commit suicide I suppose it is despair, a lack of hope, a feeling that things are not going to get better.

Most of us have had a time or two in our lives when we also felt a little hopeless. Life is hard.

I guess what I am trying to say is it is heartbreaking that people lose their hope and end their lives.
