[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here-I'm not sure why this thread has focused on the Catholic approach to suicide, my friend and her family are not Catholic. My question really had to do with whether Christians typically find comfort in their faith when a family member commits suicide, especially as in this case when it is a teenager.[/quote] Respectfully, the answer is obvious: and Christian with any sense recognizes that most people who die by suicide had serious mental health issues and that mental health is as real as physical health. So if they take comfort in their faith when losing someone to, say, cancer, why wouldn’t they take comfort in their faith to losing someone to suicide? The faulty premise to your question is that Christians view suicide as a moral wrong, which most don’t when it is the result of mental health issues. [/quote]
