Review for Alliance of Hope for Suicide Loss Survivors, Evanston, IL, USA
The Alliance of Hope for Suicide Survivors is literally a lifesaver, here to help those of us thrown into this new world of grief. We were unable to save our loved ones, here on this forum we are able to survive and learn how to thrive in our own lives.
We experience pain like nothing anyone can ever imagine, unless they have been on this journey themselves. My son was 21, just shy of his 22nd birthday. He battled with depression for many years. After his death by suicide, I had no idea of what to do, what emotions would wash over me, how to handle everything, the list goes on and on.
Here I was able to gain some type of meaning to all of these feelings and at least I could see that others had "survived" this traumatic experience.
We share about our losses and read stories of these wonderful people that are no longer here in person to make us laugh and smile, these people that we miss and love dearly. Now we remember them for all they were, we smile at memories and we honor them by living our lives and keeping their spirits alive.
The amount of compassion and resources are amazing and so very much appreciated. What a safe haven. A place where anyone can go, not everyone is ready for counseling or a group type of a setting, we live all across the world and here we are able to come together and find a bit of peace, healing and hope.
Thank you Alliance of Hope! Thank you from the bottom of my broken heart.
