That was a close one,” Celeste said to Connor. “I’m so relieved Chip listened to me and called Sara. Our plans could have been destroyed in an instant.”

“I know,” said Connor, shaking his head. “This is a tricky mission. Sara is a kind, loving person, but she is filled with so much pain. We have to find a way for her to see the other side. She needs to know the truth about life and death.”

“Yes,” Celeste agreed. “She needs to not only know for certain that there’s an afterlife, but also that if she kills herself, her pain won’t end. You know where suicides end up.”

“Sara doesn’t deserve to go there,” he said.

Celeste thought about the torment that those souls who committed suicide faced. They believed they would stop their suffering, extinguish their existence, and finally be free. They expected not to ever feel anything again. They thought it would all just end and they would disappear into nothingness. But instead they woke up very much alive, in a cold, damp, dark, cave-like place. They not only felt their own pain, but also the pain of all the tortured souls who were trapped there in limbo with them. They moaned in agony, wrapped in self-imposed chains, heavy and iron, that prevented them from escaping until they could come to terms with what they had done. There was no escape without forgiveness. And the act of forgiving oneself was the most difficult kind.

This lower realm was colorless, and the objects and scenery appeared in dismal, shadowy shades of gray and black. No light entered either. It was a vile, wretched place. The suffering there was far worse than the life the troubled souls thought they were escaping from. But that’s not all; the prisoners also got to witness the horror, the sadness, the guilt, and the despair of those left behind. Many of the remaining loved ones blamed themselves; they believed somehow they had caused their spouses and children, lovers and friends, to commit suicide. If only they had loved more, listened more, noticed more, reached out more… then maybe they could have saved their dear ones from death.

Seeing this always caused the suicide victims to be filled with so much regret and remorse. They desperately wished they could undo what they had done. They wanted to go back and make better choices, get help for the depression that had led them to this awful fate. They longed to be with their loved ones again and to see those who had passed before them. But they were stuck.

This state of existence continued for a very long time. Eventually, when the souls finally came to terms with what they had done and forgave themselves, they were allowed to go to a holding room that resembled a hospital. There they would begin the slow, difficult process of healing. When they were stronger, they would take on jobs or special assignments, where they could help the newly arrived to acclimate to their environment.
