This thing we call “soul” is actually indefinable; the word soul is a label, a handle which we humans use to grasp
that which is beyond grasping. So when you talk about “soul suicide” you may be talking about your, or others who
accept the term “soul,’ a definition of something which is indefinable. Words are symbols which represent fleeting
illusions in our perception.
When we talk about non-existence we are actually talking about the death of awareness. We are able to acknowledge
our existence because we are self aware, that is aware of us existing in whatever fashion, but if we lose self awareness;
if we do not know that we exist that may be similar to nonexistence. To sleep and not dream nor know that you are sleeping.
Nonexistence does not necessarily mean that you do not exist; rather it may also mean that you do not know that you exist.
Awareness can be destroyed but this is not a destruction of what we might call “soul.” We live and have our being in our own
awareness to whatever degree we are aware; the energy which we are can not be created nor destroyed but existence itself is
dependent on cognition or consciousness, which key ingredient is awareness. To exist without any consciousness whatsoever
on every level is akin to nonexistence.
