Scenario

When your church adds cruelty to your deepest grief

My son died by suicide and several people at my Lutheran church told me he is in hell because suicide is an unforgivable sin and I cannot bear to go back there.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Theological rigidity becomes a weapon that deepens already unbearable loss, making sacred space feel like another site of torture.
