Hi. I am so sorry for your friend. She is going through so much. And yes, sometimes things do become too much to cope with. Usually it is only extreme for someone to take their own life , especially if they talk about doing that. It's really a cry for people to fully understand what they are going through. You sound like a very good friend to this lady. Be there to give your support, and be strong for her. If you feel it is appropriate , put a prayer request out for her on the prayer page. I would happily pray for her. ( If you haven't already, I will check)...best of wishes to both you and your friend.

As per the Prajapita Brahmakumaris, suicide is never a solution to any problem but will actually result in an accumulation of past life problems to the next one. In the next life, this life’s unresolved issue will be carried forward.

So obviously the right course of action is to solve the present issues with dutiful application.

As per the Prajapita Brahmakumaris, humans always incarnate as human beings and not as members of other species. But those who take their own lives will indeed go towards soul devolution because of poor karma and vices of weakness and cowardice.

It is easy to indulge in the vices, but it takes a lot of austerity to engage in virtuous conduct, and this austerity is always rewarded.

Thanks for sharing.
She is very lucky to have you, a very caring and loving friend.

Let her know that she is not a victim anymore, as she is now a survivor.
The lessons that she had learned from the journey will make her stronger and will be able to help others.

The love that she lost or never received are insignificant, as the love that is within her is the guiding light and fuel for her journey.
So, help her to realize and feel the immense unconditional love within her, that can never be taken away.
