What happens when a person commits suicide?

[trevinogptx]

What happens when a person commits suicide? I have always believed that their soul went to purgatory a place in limbo…neither heaven nor hell. I want to know what the bible says on this and how as a catholic I can help someone cope with the loss due to a suicide.
