This compassionate reflection looks beyond judgment to ask a more difficult and humane question about suicide: what suffering had become unbearable for the person experiencing it?

Inspired by A Course in Miracles, this essay explores the idea that our connection with God has never truly been lost—only obscured by fear, judgment, guilt, and the belief in separation.
