My brother took his own life over a girl as a teenager. It’s been several years since his suicide and I’m still fretting over his decision to take his own life. I’ve grown up in a very religious family, though I am still uncertain of my own religious conviction. I have heard that suicide is wrong because it robs the victim of the time that was given to prepare for all the glory that comes after. I've also heard that suicide is the deliberate and unlawful killing of one of God's own beloved children, whom He cares for very much. Always choose life. Then I’ve been told that there is no problem that is worth the taking of one's own life because often, all that is needed is time, and things will get much better.
I choose to believe that his decision in taking his own life isn't a transgression and I can't bare to think of him suffering because of he's own judgement. I would just like to know your opinion on suicide and whether you believe it is a sin or not?
Thanks in advance.
