Don't Roman Catholics believe that Sheol is sort of between hell and heaven and people can be prayed out of it and into heaven? (Please, no throwing of stones at me if I am wrong, please!)
I said I wasn't going to respond any more, so forgive me for going back on that statement. However, I do want to comment on whether suicide is a sin. My understanding is that this belief is a tenet of the Catholic Church. I'm not sure about other faiths and religions. As far as I know (someone please correct me if I am wrong), no specific scripture in the Christian Bible condemns suicide directly. However, it can be inferred from the commandment "Thou shalt not kill" and other scriptures. I am hesitant to say much about this topic, though, for fear that my comments will push some folks over this edge.
