Departed loved ones

Can they be with us? What are they called? Does it mean something different if their death was a result of suicide?

It is my belief they can be with us if they want to. From what I've learned ghosts are earthbound souls, spirits have crossed over into the light but they can come back when they want or need to.

No, there is no difference whether it was a natural death or a suicide unless the one who commit suicide thinks there is a difference.

You see, when you get to the other side you realize the work that was involved in your previous incarnation. The planning, the synchronicity, the guides and angels who invested in you, the space you were taking and the lessons you went and did not learn.

So there can be a lot of self disappointment and shame involved if one commits suicide. Almost anything can happen. Some continue on just as if it was a natural death, but others are stunted in their growth for awhile till they sort things out.

There is some research on this using past life regression. Usually people who die and stick around after do so for a number of reasons, some of them revolving around making their surviving loved ones feel better or to ease their pain. If you are more interested in these things I suggest looking up Journey of Souls by M. Newton you should get a free pdf online.
