I know we've heard that a lot before. But is that really the case? I mean I'd like to think my ex is in Heaven. I wonder if anyone has proof. I mean I wanna see her there. I don't want her to be in the Pits of Hell in the after-life, and I, on the other side of Eternity (which is Heaven).

She drank "hemlock," if you must know.

No. Hell doesn't exist. That's just part of the Christian religious superstition. Your ex isn't in Heaven or Hell. If she died, she only lives on in your memories.
So, try to keep the more pleasant memories.

gosh, I am so sorry about your loss. I am one who suffers from severe depression, anxiety and bi polar disorder. Oh and add OCD. I have contemplated suicide many times and I am a christian. I would like to think that God will forgive anyone who has had to endure pain. We can't help that it was the way we were born. I don't know if asking this on yahoo answers is a good idea, because you will get so many different responses. How do any of these people know? Just pray that she is in Heaven or somewhere good. I get so sick of some of these "christians" and the way the think they know everything. It really pisses me off. Some of them are the most judgemental evil people out there. That is just my opinion though. Especially those Evengelical's. Well I am sorry for your loss, again. I do understand though why she did it. I mean she just couldn't handle the pain anymore. =(

I believe it is a bad thing because I believe suicide is a sort of unforgivable sin. No, suicide is a faithless act that basically says "God I dont care about what you want for my life, I just want to end it."
Is pain and suffering fun? No it isnt. Did most of us ask for the pain and suffering we have and will suffer throughout life? No. But its part of that unwritten agreement each of us signs before we enter this life that we are responsible for the curses of sin and the bad things that come our way. Our character as well as our relationship with God is defined by how we handle these things. Suicide is the faithless way to go in any situation.

No, I don't believe so. Some may consider suicide to be wrong, but it should be remembered that we all sin and that every single one of us needs God's forgiveness. And God's forgiveness is beyond what any of us humans can even comprehend.
So have peaceful thoughts, knowing that your ex is indeed in God's care and you will see her again.
The source link is an excellent article by a clergy member on this subject, and is very good.

Please be assured that your loved one is not in hell as the biblical account of heaven and hell is grossly inaccurate.
When anyone passes on, for whatever reasons, he/she gets to continue his/her spiritual lessons (which are why we are here in the first place) either in the next world (if the person has earned the right) or in this world (in which case the person reincarnates). Either way, no hell is involved.
You can ask God during your meditations to show you what happened to your loved one. Thereafter watch your dreams. Indeed, your loved one may have been attending to your worries by appearing to you in your dreams, and trying to show you she is fine and doing well. Believe her.

How do you know that you will be in heaven? God made us all, and He loves us all. I think God is a forgiving being, that understands that this world is sometimes just too much for his children. I think he loves the suicides as much, and forgives them their transgression. I feel the instinct for survival is really strong, so when someone commits suicide, they just forgot that they were loved and needed. They had mental issues, and I am sure our loving God knows that better than me. We just can't make a statement and then decide that it is the right one and fits all.

Around half of suicides are committed by people either suffering from clinical depression or bipolar disorder, both are genetic diseases, bipolar disorder is active from birth to death, clinical depression takes environmental triggers. These cause a chemical unbalance of the brain that makes an individual have little control of their thoughts, and thus their actions.
I'm not sure about the bipolar side of things, but the stats on clinical depression.
15% of people will develop clinical depression in their life, which is probably pretty close to the percentage genetically able to develop the disease.
Of those, 30% will attempt suicide.
15% will succeed.
No one can judge where a person is coming from. Especially when they haven't felt their body eating itself alive.

OF COURSE NOT.
Everyone comes from God and everyone returns to him.
We are all spiritual beings having a human experience.
There is no such thing as SIN or HELL.
The realm outside of this one is of infinite Love and Peace.
There is no EVIL there.
There is nothing that is unforgivable. even as humans we would forgive our children anything, and you expect LESS from GOD?
Read Conversations with God by Walsch, Wayne Dyer Power of intention, The teachings of Abraham by Hicks. Read any and all books on NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCES. It will transform your thought on Judgment and punishment. Elizabeth Kubler Ross wrote on death and dying, and many other books on dying. She started the hospice movement.
She insisted Death does not exist.

I don't belive so. People who perform suicide have led depressed and sad lives and were unable to see the gifts on earth God had laid for them. I don't see why God would make things worse for them by sending them to hell (if there is a hell, rather not find out myself).

Logical reasoning, man! Everyone who commits SUICIDE GO STRAIGHT TO HELL! THINK about it! IF people who COMMIT SUCIDE don't GO TO HELL, then, PROBABLY, we'll see JUDAS ISCARIOT (ooh... my favorite character...NOT!) there in Heaven! Seriously, man! Your ex is lost... SORRY for the SARCASTIC TONE but IT'S THE TRUTH! Oh, and by the way, I'm not sorry fot your loss... Looks like someone I know! You're telling stories, man!
It's like a fanfic I read about the love triangle of Kim, Tommy, and Kat! Hemlock, eh? Though in the fanfic, I don't recall the poison being named. Are you sure it WAS hemlock?

If she was Catholic, hell yes. You're all going to hell anyway, because you're all sinners, according to you, and you can't stop being emo enough to realize that you can get out of being so emo by accepting your sin and living with it.
If she's Fundamentalist, then hell yes again, because it's in the bible. You believe every little word, so yeah, She's gone.
If you're some other form of Christianity, most likely, because it's in the bible; also, I'm pretty sure being gay is a lot less of a sin than killing yourself, and you advocate against that so strongly. So sorry.
If you're any other religion, rejoice, because most likely she gets to choose where she ends up, or your God(s) is (are) forgiving enough to spare her. My gods dun really care unless the guy murdered/raped/etc. someone. ^^
