Descriptions:
In this episode, Dave talks about suicide and some of the important questions that arise after a friend takes their own life. What happens to them in the eternities? Elder Bruce R. McConkie sheds some light on the subject:
“Persons subject to great stresses may lose control of themselves and become mentally clouded to the point that they are no longer accountable for their acts. Such are not to be condemned for taking their own lives. It should also be remembered that judgment is the Lord’s; he knows the thoughts, intents, and abilities of men; and he in his infinite wisdom will make all things right in due course.”
In other words, there’s plenty of hope for those loved ones who have taken their own lives. If you are struggling with thoughts of suicide, please take advantage of these resources:
