Struggling to understand . . .

As I struggle to understand why someone would take their own life, I look toward God and the bible for answers. Will this person go to be with God? Is she at peace? How could one feel so desperate as to take their own life? I don't understand it, but God's word gives me comfort in his answers . . . For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. ~ John 3:16

Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it. ~Ecclesiastes 12:7

For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. ~Romans 8:38–39
