Brianna Storm Hilvety commented on the post, How to Delicately Yet Meaningfully Write a Suicide Scene 1 year, 8 months ago
Thank you for your honesty, Malissa. But I think you may have misunderstood the intent of the article. Sophia mentions that “a suicide victim is guilty and forfeits the opportunity to repent.” She means that the person can’t seek forgiveness prior to death, not that they’re incapable of receiving forgiveness. As you pointed out, that part is up to God.
