Review for Alliance of Hope for Suicide Loss Survivors, Evanston, IL, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

My sister took her life in August, 2009, nobody knew what to say to me - when I returned home, I stumbled upon Alliance of Hope through searching the internet and I do believe I was guided here. For many months I would log on to either just dump out my feelings of loss, or just to read. The commonality here brought us together. All different backgrounds, and circumstances, yet we were all in this little suicide world together. It helped me beyond what a therapist had tried to do for me. The moderators on the site were always, always there to reply if someone sounded like they had lost hope. We are a group of people in this world thrown together by suicide, and never chose to be here, yet Alliance of Hope helped me realize that, in time, things will start to get back to a semblance of order. They were and probably will be at times, still where I go for my solace.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

the kindness and a kindred nature of the reason we were all online pouring out our hearts over a loved one taking their life.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

not make one change, other than to hope it can continue to exist.

Role:  General Member of the Public & I have climed out a deep dark hole that I oftened wondered if it could happen.
