With all due respect, I simply can't believe this medium's theory re: suicide. People who choose death over life (IMO) due so because they can't stand the constant unremitting psychic pain they feel. What sort of "higher power" would deny these souls the opportunity of heaven (or hell, I guess) after first having f*cked them over in life by giving them this disease? I wonder if this theory extends to people who committ "passive" suicide i.e., dying from lung cancer due to a lifetime of inhaling cigarettes? Or cirrhosis brought about by heavy drinking? Or someone whose anorexia causes them to starve to death? Where do you think this medium would draw the line? Personally I think this theory is no more than another urban legend that exacerbates the stigma already placed on people with mental illness.
