Hypothetically, what would happen to someone who would like to be dead and gone?

One of the reasons we are always met by friends is to help us to adjust to the fact of our having just left the physical body behind. There might be disbelief or even anger. When any of us pass we are met and then we find our place in the lower heavens, the astral and lower mental, where we stay until we are sorted out. This is where the fabled judgement happens. Then we pass again, this time moving to the higher end of the mental plane, the home of souls. Here the landscape is different. We are still in the Earth's heavens but higher, less substantial they seem. We no longer look around us and see the familiar Ethereal Earth. By this time most of us have made the necessary adjustments and we understand. We still have freedom of choice. Those who remain skeptical or he who still wishes he was dead might take a little longer to adjust. They are not left to their own devices though. They are not abandoned. They will feel an impulse... an idea that they are not yet home. Sooner or later they yield to this. And their guide again appears with a smile. We are encouraged, never forced.
Much can be learned by reading accounts of NDE's. The skeptic will meet friends and family as the guide awaits quietly while the religious believer may meet a well know figure from his or her own set of teachings. It is our guide who arranges how we will be met. NDE reports seem to always agree on one thing. The person would rather not come back but does anyway because of what is now realized. Does it seem odd that when we are here we are bid take things on trust but after passing we know more? Why can't we know more now? This is just another aspect of the inherent divisiveness of the lower planes. This is the reason the Earth has religions. They are needed.
Those who die in a state of agitation such as from a drug overdose will require more specialized care by the guide. This is given them. Those who die in anger will need time for it to abate. Those who die knowingly, joyfully, will guide themselves and move rapidly home. The average person dies in stages while advanced souls need no such adjustments.
Of them all suicides are treated differently. They, too, are met in compassionate manner but later when they realize it they are prepared to return almost immediately to try again, to finish up. But this time they have a bit more wisdom.
A last thought is this: In the spiritual worlds, even near to the Earth, we are sorted out according to vibrations. Thus those who pass in an emotional state cannot ascend further until they realize what is needed. This is why guides are so important. On the plane of souls emotions are very subdued. Souls are more mindful than emotional. The very highest sub plane of the astral is known to us as the seventh heaven of tradition. Here is the land of the golden light of those who are senior enough to leave the Earth but who choose to remain, in service.
Sorry for the long answer. It seems Bartholomew always has a lot to say.
