If she had invited Jesus into that emptiness He would have no infallibly filled it because THAT is what He does.

And yet there are many suicide prevention programs that are specifically targeted to Christians. 65% of Americans identify as Christians. There were 47,511 suicides in the US in 2019 (pre Covid). So, 30,822 of those were Christian. That's over 84 Christians per day that take their own life. Now that's raw data and maybe there are some skews in certain non-Christian groups, but we are still talking about lots of Christians.

God knows the heart. A person in extremis who’s asking honestly will be answered. We may call ourself Christian but if we don’t act the part it doesn’t otherwise buy us anything. I suspect, as I said, that her life was a shade or two more complicated than we can see. If you plead to God with reservation, forget it.
