In Catholic theology, suicide sends you to hell (or purgatory if you are lucky) because killing yourself renders you unable to confess your sins before death as the act of suicide is in itself a sin.
Suicide is not a sin and there is nothing to forgive as there is no magic old man in the clouds who would send to you eternal torment because your own personal life was such a torment that you chose to end it yourself or have someone assist you in that act of mercy. If there was, that is extremely sickening.
