We actually add to the misery of those who contemplate and commit suicide, by stirring in them emotions of fear, guilt, and such, which affect their emotional makeup both here, and after here.
Their thoughts and emotions go with them in the thought responsive afterlife, where they quickly degenerate in nightmarish scenarios, for a while.
While still here, their thoughts generate thought forms that aren't destroyed when they pass on, but will materialize and join them in their other incarnations (karmic balancing). The soul will experience those thought forms from the other side than the side that generated them.

In many traditions, it is believed that the soul lingers after leaving the physical body. Dr. Newton discusses this as well in his book. Dr. Newton indicates that a major concern of the departed soul is to console and comfort those left behind.
I agree with you that those left behind should not instill ... consciously or otherwise .... feelings of guilt or shame in the departed soul. One must accept what is and the crossing over will be easier if those left behind simply bid a fond farewell with positive thoughts for the next step in the journey of life.
