And I do believe that many people who have committed suicide have been very graceful people, as 'grace' is not some trait or commodity we tally up. It can be action, or inaction, as in the way of Jesus' non-violent footsteps. Now this may really cause a stir-up, but personally, I don't really believe there is a place called "Hell", in particularly not in the conventional way we are taught. I have to do some more research on this topic, so I will get back to it.
Best,
