![Do People Who Die by Suicide Go to Heaven?](https://biblenudge.com/blog/do-people-who-die-by-suicide-go-to-heaven/featured.jpg)

The Bible leaves the judgment of every person with God, and it names no destination for anyone who died by suicide. Where it tells the stories of people who ended their lives, it records what happened and leaves where they went with God. Many churches today speak of hope and mercy for the person who died.

The [Catechism of the Catholic Church](https://www.vatican.va/archive/ENG0015/__P7Z.HTM) says, "We should not despair of the eternal salvation of persons who have taken their own lives," and it says the Church prays for them. If somebody told you the person you love is lost, at the funeral, in the family or in a video, you can set these words beside that.

The [Lutheran Church Missouri Synod](https://www.lcms.org/about/beliefs/faqs/lcms-views) says it has "no official position regarding the eternal state of individuals" who die by suicide, and it cites Martin Luther, who said in 1532 that he did not hold that people who die by suicide are surely damned. The old teaching that suicide shuts a person out of heaven grew up over centuries of church history, and many churches have softened or reversed it since.

If you are thinking of ending your own life, a person can be reached now. In the United States, call [988](tel:988), text [988](sms:988) or [chat](https://988lifeline.org/chat/) with the [988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline](https://988lifeline.org/), which says, "If you need to talk, the 988 Lifeline is here," and takes calls, texts and chats for yourself or for a friend or loved one.

In Spanish, go to [988 en español](https://988lifeline.org/es/obten-ayuda/). Lines for other countries, each with its country named, are in the next section and again at the end.

## If you only have a minute

### The short answer

The Bible names no destination for anyone who died by suicide and leaves every person's judgment with God.

### What many churches say

Many churches speak of mercy, prayer and hope, and their funeral rules differ.

### If you are at risk

The crisis lines in the next section name their countries, and each one can be tapped to call, text or chat.

### For your own night

[Psalm 34:18](https://biblenudge.com/context/psalm-34-18) gives words about God's nearness to a broken heart.

### One thing tonight

Say the name of the person you lost, aloud or in a prayer.

## If you are thinking about ending your life too

Grief after a suicide can bring these thoughts to the people left behind. If they have come to you, a person can be reached tonight, by phone, text or chat:

- In the United States: call [988](tel:988), text [988](sms:988) or [chat online](https://988lifeline.org/chat/), with Spanish-language text and chat at [988 en español](https://988lifeline.org/es/obten-ayuda/).
- In Canada: call or text [9-8-8](tel:988). The [9-8-8 service](https://988.ca/) says, "You deserve to be heard. We’re here to listen."
- In the United Kingdom and Ireland: [Samaritans](https://www.samaritans.org/how-we-can-help/contact-samaritan/) on [116 123](tel:116123). It says, "If you need someone to talk to, we listen. We won't judge or tell you what to do," and lists loss and bereavement among the reasons people get in touch.
- In Australia: [Lifeline](https://www.lifeline.org.au/get-help) on [13 11 14](tel:131114).
- In Spain and Mexico: in Spain, the [024 line](https://www.024.es/) on [024](tel:024) or the [Teléfono de la Esperanza](https://telefonodelaesperanza.org/) on [717 003 717](tel:717003717); in Mexico, the [Línea de la Vida](https://www.gob.mx/conasama/articulos/linea-de-la-vida-800-911-2000?idiom=es) on [800 911 2000](tel:8009112000).

Anywhere else, [Find A Helpline](https://findahelpline.com/) lists services by country. If anyone is in immediate danger, call the local emergency number: [911](tel:911) in the United States, [9-1-1](tel:911) in Canada, [000](tel:000) in Australia, and your own emergency number anywhere else.

One story in Scripture, the text of the Bible, keeps company with this. In 1 Kings 19, the prophet Elijah, worn out, sat under a juniper tree and asked to die; he slept, and an angel touched him and said, "Arise and eat," and there was food and water at his head, and it happened a second time. It gives you a man in the Bible who reached the end of himself and was met with rest, food and a long road still ahead of him.

## What happens to the soul of someone who dies by suicide?

The Bible is a collection of writings gathered over many centuries, and it tells the stories of a few people who ended their lives: Abimelech (Judges 9:50-54), Saul and his armor-bearer (1 Samuel 31:1-6), Ahithophel (2 Samuel 17:23), Zimri (1 Kings 16:18) and Judas (Matthew 27:3-5). These are short accounts inside longer histories of war, kingship and betrayal.

The account in 1 Samuel 31 sets Saul in a battle that has gone against him, "greatly distressed," and the narrator passes no verdict on him. In 2 Samuel 1:17-27, David sings a lament that honors Saul and his son Jonathan together. Matthew records that Judas "felt remorse," brought the money back to the chief priests, and said, "I have sinned in that I betrayed innocent blood." Where a narrator does comment, as with Abimelech and Zimri, the comment concerns the violence and wrongdoing of their reigns earlier in the story. None of the accounts says where any of them went.

Samson, in Judges 16, is counted among these accounts by some commentators and not by others. His last words are a prayer, "Lord Yahweh, remember me, please, and strengthen me, please, only this once," and the letter to the Hebrews later names him among people of faith (Hebrews 11:32).

What Scripture does say, again and again, is about God and the dead. Paul, writing to Christians in Rome with suffering, accusation and persecution in view, asks who could separate them from the love of Christ, and answers in Romans 8:38-39:

> For I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from God’s love, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

[Focus on the Family](https://www.focusonthefamily.com/family-qa/suicide-heaven-and-eternal-destiny/) points grieving families to this passage, and to the limits of what anyone can know about another person's final state. Death is the first thing on Paul's list, and he names it as one more thing that cannot come between a person and the love of God.

Psalm 139 is a prayer about a God no one can get beyond. "If I make my bed in Sheol, behold, you are there," the psalmist says, using the Hebrew Bible's word for the place of the dead, and a few lines later, "even the darkness doesn’t hide from you." Together these give you words for the fear that comes at night, and a God who is present even in the darkest place a person can go. For the wider question of heaven and how the traditions describe it, [what happens when you die according to the Bible](https://biblenudge.com/blog/what-happens-when-you-die-according-to-the-bible) sets out the texts.

![A single lit window in a house at evening, seen from a wet garden path](https://biblenudge.com/blog/do-people-who-die-by-suicide-go-to-heaven/the-lit-window.jpg)

## Why do people say those who die by suicide don't go to heaven?

The idea grew up in church teaching over many centuries, and it changed over time. [Augustine](https://www.newadvent.org/fathers/120101.htm), in The City of God 1.17 to 1.27, written about 413 to 426, argued that shame, fear or suffering does not justify taking one's own life. About 1270, [Thomas Aquinas](https://www.newadvent.org/summa/306405.htm), in the Summa Theologiae II-II, question 64, article 5, gave three reasons against it: that it goes against a person's natural love of self, harms the community, and takes over God's authority over life and death.

Over the following centuries, in parts of Europe, people who died by suicide were buried outside consecrated ground and refused church rites, and their families faced civil penalties. Michael MacDonald and Terence R. Murphy, in [Sleepless Souls](https://academic.oup.com/book/47969) (Clarendon Press, 1990), describe English law adding the forfeiture of property to the denial of ordinary burial. Alexander Murray, in [Suicide in the Middle Ages](https://global.oup.com/academic/product/suicide-in-the-middle-ages-9780198205398) (Oxford University Press, 1998 to 2000), argues that what actually happened varied more than the rules suggest.

Then the rules began to reverse. The Catholic Church's 1917 Code of Canon Law restricted church burial in canon 1240; the 1983 Code, in [canon 1184](https://www.vatican.va/archive/cod-iuris-canonici/cic_index_en.html), no longer names suicide among the grounds for refusing a funeral. The [Church of England](https://www.churchofengland.org/resources/legal/legal-opinions-concerning-church-england-0/part-9-burial-and-cremation) now permits burial in consecrated ground after a death by suicide, and the [Suicide Act 1961](https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/Eliz2/9-10/60/contents) changed English law.

One person posted on Reddit, in r/Catholicism, ["My priest told me that the Church used to be harsh towards those who died by suicide, but attitudes had changed now and we could pray for her soul and hope that she would enter heaven."](https://www.reddit.com/r/Catholicism/comments/1kaqhqv/) If a funeral was refused in your family, years ago or more recently, the rule then in force differed by church and by period, and many of those rules have since changed.

## Is suicide the unforgivable sin? Does God forgive suicide?

The phrase "unforgivable sin" goes back to Matthew 12:31-32, where Jesus speaks of blasphemy against the Spirit, and commentators disagree about whether the passage has anything to do with suicide. Other verses are often quoted at families too. Exodus 20:13, "You shall not murder," is one of the Ten Commandments. 1 Corinthians 3:16-17 and 6:19-20 speak of the community and the body as God's temple, and Hebrews 6:4-6 and 10:26 come from a letter warning its readers against turning away from the faith. Christian commentators read all of these differently, and none of them names a person who died by suicide.

The Catholic Church, in the [Catechism](https://www.vatican.va/archive/ENG0015/__P7Z.HTM), holds two things together, in its own words. Paragraph 2281 ends, "Suicide is contrary to love for the living God." The last sentence of paragraph 2282, in the Catechism's own wording, reads, "Grave psychological disturbances, anguish, or grave fear of hardship, suffering, or torture can diminish the responsibility of the one committing suicide." And paragraph 2283, whole, reads: "We should not despair of the eternal salvation of persons who have taken their own lives. By ways known to him alone, God can provide the opportunity for salutary repentance. the Church prays for persons who have taken their own lives."

When someone asked on Reddit, in r/Catholicism, whether suicide is unforgivable, one reply was simply, ["We don’t know the bounds of God’s mercy."](https://www.reddit.com/r/Catholicism/comments/byymnk/) What you can take from both: mercy belongs to God, and if you loved someone, you may pray for them.

## Can a person who died by suicide go to heaven? What the churches teach

Each tradition speaks in its own words. [YOUCAT](https://youcat.org/credopedia/suicide/), a Catholic youth catechism, answers the question, "Yes, you can," tying its answer to diminished responsibility and the Catechism. [Franciscan Media](https://www.franciscanmedia.org/ask-a-franciscan/assurance-about-heaven/), answering a husband about his wife, says families should not despair, and that the manner of death should not define the person's life or memory.

Among Lutherans, the [LCMS](https://www.lcms.org/about/beliefs/faqs/lcms-views) asks pastors to make caring and responsible decisions about funerals, looking "not so much for a reason to avoid the question of officiating as to find a reason ... to accept the opportunity." [GraceLife International](https://www.gracelifeinternational.com/do-people-go-to-heaven-who-commit-suicide/), an evangelical ministry, writes, "No matter how a person in Christ dies, that person still goes to heaven," while other Baptist and evangelical writers tie salvation to repentance or perseverance, so evangelical voices differ.

In the Orthodox churches, the [Greek Orthodox Archdiocese](https://www.goarch.org/-/regarding-suicides-and-cremation) says a funeral may be authorized where a doctor's statement establishes that the person was not in their right mind, and the [Orthodox Church in America](https://www.oca.org/files/PDF/official/2023-OCA-Guidelines-for-Clergy.pdf) leaves the decision to the diocesan bishop, with mental illness and impaired judgment relevant. In Judaism, the early rule in [Semachot 2](https://www.sefaria.org/Tractate_Semachot.2.4-6) restricted formal rites while allowing what is done "for respect of the living," and modern responsa, rabbis' written answers on Jewish law, discussed at [Sefaria](https://www.sefaria.org/Sheet.24866), recognize fear, depression and impaired judgment, often permitting an ordinary funeral and mourning.

The traditions differ in their language and in their funeral practice, and none of them gives a human verdict on any one person. If you are unsure what your own church does, you can ask your pastor, priest or rabbi directly, whether a funeral is days away or years behind you.

## For the family: what this grief is like

The [American Foundation for Suicide Prevention](https://afsp.org/livingwithsuicideloss/) (AFSP) describes this loss as bringing "distress and emotional pain," along with possible "stigma, guilt, and shame," and says each survivor grieves in an individual way and on an individual timeline. In the United Kingdom, [Survivors of Bereavement by Suicide](https://uksobs.org/) names "the question why" at the heart of it.

Many people carry this loss. Cerel and colleagues, in ["How Many People Are Exposed to Suicide? Not Six"](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29345902/) (2018), estimated that 135 people are exposed to each death by suicide, and the [CDC reported in 2025](https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/74/wr/pdfs/mm7412a4-H.pdf) that 42.4 percent of US adults surveyed in 2023 knew someone who died by suicide.

In a thread posted on Reddit in r/SuicideBereavement, one person wrote, ["What makes me sad the most is hearing that people say those who take their own lives will go to hell,"](https://www.reddit.com/r/SuicideBereavement/comments/1hk0ap9/HELL_in_afterlife/) and in the same thread, "I’m deeply confused, devastated, and I miss my brother so much." On Reddit's r/Catholicism, a parent asked, ["I guess my real question is is he in heaven, because if he is not I have no desire to ever be part of that world,"](https://www.reddit.com/r/Catholicism/comments/1d3wjkb/) and someone replied, "We cannot say, the only judge is God - and we know that God is Just and Merciful."

For your own night, the passage Bible Nudge offers for grief is Psalm 34:18, from a song of praise formed in hardship. In the World English Bible:

> Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit.

In the King James Version:

> The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.

It speaks to your broken heart, now, and gives nearness without explaining the loss. Read [Psalm 34:18](https://biblenudge.com/context/psalm-34-18) once, slowly, and hold one question: "What would it mean to let nearness, rather than explanation, be enough today?"

## What helped families, and what landed badly

In published survivor accounts, families describe what helped as being asked about the person by name, hearing the death named plainly, a meal or a card, being remembered on the anniversary, and a pastor who said he or she did not know the answer and that God is merciful. The AFSP's [guidance on talking with a loss survivor](https://nspw.afsp.org/suicidelosssurvivor/) says a helpful response can admit uncertainty, "That’s okay, and it’s okay to acknowledge as much, too," and asks people not to place a timeline on grief.

If you are the friend rather than the family, [what to say to someone who lost a child](https://biblenudge.com/blog/what-to-say-to-someone-who-lost-a-child) has messages you can send to bereaved parents; if it was a brother who died, [Bible verses for the loss of a brother](https://biblenudge.com/blog/bible-verses-for-the-loss-of-a-brother) may help; and for the first hours after any sudden death, [Bible verses for sudden death](https://biblenudge.com/blog/bible-verses-for-sudden-death) is a place to start.

## How to answer a child who asks, "Is he in heaven?"

Children's grief services give similar advice. The [Dougy Center](https://www.dougy.org/assets/uploads/TDC_Supporting_Children__Teens_After_a_Suicide_Death_2018.pdf) says to tell the truth in simple language, let the child's questions guide what you share, and avoid "went to sleep," "passed away" or "lost," answering honestly without describing the death. [Child Bereavement UK](https://www.childbereavementuk.org/explaining-to-a-child-that-someone-has-died-by-suicide) says children need clear words such as "he has died."

The [American Academy of Pediatrics](https://www.healthychildren.org/English/healthy-living/emotional-wellness/Building-Resilience/Pages/How-Children-Understand-Death-What-You-Should-Say.aspx) says older children may ask about cause, blame, heaven and whether someone else will die, and the [AFSP](https://afsp.org/) says children often come back to the same questions. A second or third asking is a chance to answer again, in the same plain words.

An answer of our own, honest, and claiming nothing about where the person is: "I don't know everything about heaven. I know God knew Dad better than anyone, and I know we can talk to God about him whenever you want. Different churches say different things, and you can ask me anything, as many times as you need."

Two small ideas of our own: say the person's name with the child, and keep one thing of theirs where the child can see it, a cap, a mug or a photograph on a shelf.

## Questions people ask

These come up often after a death by suicide, and each has more than one answer across the traditions.

### Can I pray for someone who died by suicide?

In Catholic teaching, yes: the [Catechism](https://www.vatican.va/archive/ENG0015/__P7Z.HTM) says the Church prays for persons who have taken their own lives. The Orthodox Church in America leaves memorial services to the diocesan bishop, and modern Jewish responsa discussed at [Sefaria](https://www.sefaria.org/Sheet.24866) often permit ordinary mourning. Anyone may speak to God about the person they loved, in their own words.

### Can a person who died by suicide have a church funeral?

In many churches, yes, though practice differs. The [Church of England](https://www.churchofengland.org/resources/legal/legal-opinions-concerning-church-england-0/part-9-burial-and-cremation) says burial in consecrated ground may take place, and that ordinary authorized forms of service are usually used when the person was not responsible for the action. Catholic canon law no longer names suicide among the reasons to refuse a funeral, and Greek Orthodox practice allows one where a doctor's statement is given, so ask the parish or priest directly.

### What does the Bible say about people who wanted to die?

Several people in Scripture say they wish they had not been born, or ask God to let them die: Job in Job 3 and Job 6:8-11, Jonah in Jonah 4, Jeremiah in Jeremiah 20:14-18, and Elijah in 1 Kings 19. The writers keep their words as prayer and lament, spoken to God. In Elijah's story, what comes next is sleep, food and water, given twice.

## Where to go next

For support after a suicide loss: in the United States, the AFSP's [Healing Conversations](https://afsp.org/healing-conversations/) connects a loss survivor with a trained volunteer who has also lost someone to suicide, and [Survivors of Suicide Loss](https://www.soslsd.org/), the [Alliance of Hope for Suicide Loss Survivors](https://allianceofhope.org/) and the [American Association of Suicidology](https://suicidology.org/suicide-loss-survivors/) offer support and loss-survivor resources, with [the Compassionate Friends](https://www.compassionatefriends.org/) for parents.
