Suicide: What Happens To The Spirit After Death?
Updated 2024.10.22
In my work, as a medium, I've had the opportunity to talk with souls who have transitioned to Spirit this way. All transitional routes are, and in some sense, a form of letting go.
Spirits I have spoken to who have moved on this way, have told those still living in readings that they regretted it the moment after I did it, but it was already too late. Each Spirit person who has come forward has come back in regret, wishing something else had happened.
No matter how the soul feels, usually, what happens in a reading is a burst of unconditional love, and forgiveness comes through. If they are still around on Earth, they then transform into their Highest Selves.
That said, through the stories of why from individual to individual, I have found three main scenarios that happen to a person on the other side after they've passed on this way.
Below I wanted to share these findings, in case they can promote your understanding in some way -
What Happens To The Spirit After Transitioning In Suicide
Possibility #1. They may wait out their full crossing-over window
A person who has transitioned through what we call suicide may not cross-over right away. Due to what I mentioned above, the feelings of immediate regret and wanting to come back and apologize.
Many want to apologize to their loved ones first and get that off their chest before entirely leaving the earth plane. The heavy energy of regret, once released, allows their soul to transcend.
Once they say what they need to say or are acknowledged, they are usually ready to cross-over. If you feel your loved one is still lingering, this is normal. They may attempt to communicate with you using physical signs like knocks and bangs or moving physical objects while lingering.
You can help your loved one cross-over, and it's a very healing experience. You can speed up the transition process, which often eventually does happen naturally, through speaking words of forgiveness to their Spirit.
Speak them when you sense them present or during the most common times of the day when Spirit Visits, which is when they may be around to hear.
I detail the process in How To Cross-Over A Spirit if you'd like to try it.
Possibility #2. They may go to a resting place first
The resting place looks like a garden, a womb, or a vacant space where this soul heals before fully moving to Spirit. This is the place where people go to contemplate their experiences and release any heavy emotions, before fully crossing.
A person may go here first, the resting place, before entirely going into the Light. They can stay here for any period from just a second to years, it all depends on their soul contract, though often what happens here is they learn about all the good things they did on Earth and recharge.
If you haven't seen or heard from your person since their passing (no signs), it's likely they are in this resting place.
A Spirit does not usually communicate with anyone on Earth during their stay here. It's thought this separation aids in the healing process for all parties connected to the transition as they navigate their new relationship.
I talk more about the resting place in this post.
Possibility #3. They cross-over immediately and become a spirit guide
I have seen people who transition in suicide to move immediately into the Spirit, turn around, and become Spirit Guides for people who are contemplating the same. Your loved one may already be counseling, uplifting, watching over and guiding those just like them, into a new direction in life.
Some even move on in Angel-like roles to watch over those who are in similar situations, becoming invaluable support to another soul.
If this is going on, you may have already been visited by your person as a light, seen them in a dream, or even seen light apparitions of them. These are all signs they've crossed the rainbow bridge fully.
They're communicating and letting you know they are Home.
To recap, the three things that can happen when someone transitions through suicide
They may wait out their full crossing-over window
They may go to a midway point to rest
They fully cross-over immediately
Those who choose the possibility one or two first, eventually do get to three, it's just a matter of time. These three situations and how they apply to your loved one will depend on their life path and the unique circumstances involved.
Each person has a uniquely intimate experience living here on Earth and living in The Spirit World. To understand the specific transitional course of your friend or family member, you'd have to find out from the Spirit themselves.
