I Can’t Accept My Friend Has Committed Suicide
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader who goes by the name, Feeling Empty, who lost a friend to suicide last week. They’re in complete disbelief and can’t believe he’s not here. My mind is unable to accept his death because I can’t attend the funeral (due to the coronavirus lockdown), which would make his death real and believable.
The Council asks if you can’t have faith in anything unless you see it? Your friend hasn’t gone anywhere. He’s still around you. He can still see and hear you. You’ll be able to hear him when you believe he’s just lost his human form. The essence of your friend is still here. This is what you need to experience.
Start with believing your friend has only changed his appearance. When you believe that and ask for signs he’s around, you will receive them. You’ll be together again and we’re sure there will be more lifetimes together.
There’s a lesson for you in your friend’s committing suicide as well as a lesson for him. What have you learned? Was your friend’s life so difficult or was he so sick that suicide was his way out?
Always remember suicide is a contract that’s made in spirit. It’s an option that’s available when life is too much. When you created your current lifetime everyone involved agreed that suicide was acceptable. Everyone would be okay about taking part in this. This way you help each other grow as souls.
Think of what your life has been like with your friend and what you’ve learned. Imagine how wonderful it is that you agreed to come so far with him and agreed to the suicide. And know you’ll be able to meet your friend again in another life if this is what you both want.
Feeling Empty asks if their friend is okay now and The Council says he’s perfectly fine. We assure you he’s very happy and very loved. And when it’s your turn to transition out of your human body he’ll be there and so will others you’ve shared this lifetime with. Feeling Empty asks if their friend knows how much I care about him. And The Council says he knows everything now.
Feeling Empty closes by saying although I’ve been spiritual and believed in an afterlife, I’m beginning to lose faith in all my beliefs. The Council says your faith will return when you get the sign you’re looking for, when you accept that your friend has left only your current reality, and you’re okay with that.
Your grief, anger, and loss of faith are blocking your connection between you and your friend back in spirit. Work on this. Realize all is well and the situation is exactly what you wanted. When you cross over you’ll meet again and you can plan other lifetimes together. Life goes on and on and on after you leave each individual life. When you’re happy knowing this you’ll receive your sign.

Welcome
Bob & Cynthia
Welcome to Ask The Council, a blog where you can ask a group of loving and wise spirit guides a question and get an answer, for free. You can also contact us for a paid private phone session with The Council, and you can read the questions other readers have asked and the answers they’ve received. Other posts contain quotations from The Council that we hope you find inspiring, uplifting, and educational.
Ask The Council a Question
If there’s a question you’ve been thinking about and you’re curious how The Council might answer it, we encourage you to either use the blog’s Comments feature to ask your question, or contact us for a private phone session. You can click here to go to the ‘Let us know what you think about this post, or ask The Council a question’ section of this Welcome post and type your question there or you can type your question in the same section at the bottom of any post that inspires you to ask a question or leave a comment.
Since the blog is currently a project we do in our spare time it can take a while for us to do a session with The Council on a question and then publish a post on the session. Depending on the question and the session it can sometimes take weeks after a question is asked to publish a post with The Council’s answer. Please be patient.
The Council
Cynthia is able to communicate with a group of five non-physical spirit guides in a manner similar to the way Esther Hicks communicates with and speaks for the spirit guides, Abraham, and Jane Roberts communicated and spoke for the spirit guide, Seth. I (Bob) basically interview The Council as they speak through Cynthia during what we refer to as a session. Sessions generally last 5-15 minutes and are usually audio recorded. During the session Cynthia is aware of what The Council is saying and she also receives visual impressions and other types of telepathic communication from them.
The Council’s Basic Guidance
Since we began these sessions with The Council around 2009 they consistently emphasize a few basic ideas that we attempt to summarize here:
1) You are an eternal spiritual being in a physical body.
You are the energy and vibration of continuously expanding love, intelligence, and joy.
Your physical experience in your physical body and your psychological experience of your personality is a small part of the totality of who you truly are.
Let yourself imagine from time to time what it might feel like to experience more of the wondrous totality of who you really are, and don’t be surprised if you are able to experience this more often.
2) You are the creator of all that you experience.
As you open to the possibility your true nature is greater than you ordinarily perceive, it becomes easier to consider the possibility that this expanded you is truly the creator of everything that you experience.
If you’re used to thinking of yourself in a more limited sense, the idea that you are the creator of your experience may be difficult to understand. Our post, What About This Idea That We Create Whatever We Desire, offers insights into this idea.
3) You are here to expand the love you are into physical reality.
You chose, as a spiritual being, to come into this physical reality to experience the joy of expanding the love you are as a spiritual being, into this physical reality. This is your purpose for being here.
Finding Your Way Around the Blog
Home Page
The left-hand column on the Home page contain a long chronological series of posts with the most recent on top. Each post begins with a title. Clicking on a post title will take you to a blog page dedicated to that particular post. Following each post is a Like button where you can indicate to us and other readers if you like the post.
The footer section of each post identifies the date the post was published, the Categories the post has been assigned to, the keyword/keyphrase Tags assigned to the post, and a Comment link. If readers comments on a post, the Comments link will indicate the number of comments. If a post has no comments yet, the Comment link text appears as “Leave a Comment”.
Clicking on the Comments link takes you to a Comment text box on a post page dedicated to that post. Here you can type a comment in the text box and click the Post Comment button to have your comment displayed just below the text box. If you are replying to someone else’s comment, your comment will appear indented underneath the comment you are replying to.
At the bottom of the left column on the Home page is a ‘Previous Entries’ link that will take you to a page with a list of earlier posts.
