Why should someone who has suffered enough while alive suffer even more after death? Do such souls actually face eternal damnation? This story shows a completely different perspective. Each of the souls who ended up in this mysterious place carries a different or similar story that prompted them to take such a serious step, from deep trauma, loss of someone important and close, mental or fatal illness, remorse, persecution or simply losing everything and being left with nothing. Although they have committed a sin by taking their own lives, God does not want to immediately condemn them, condemn them to torment in Hell, instead showing understanding and compassion towards them. Although they can't enter Heaven, God sends them to another place where they won't experience any physical suffering, instead they will reflect long on themselves, their lives, their relationships during their lifetime. They also do not experience loneliness, God allows them to share their thoughts, reflections with each other, to see their deceased loved ones from time to time. Above all, they will be aware that God is taking care of them to some degree.
