Review for Alliance of Hope for Suicide Loss Survivors, Evanston, IL, USA
After my 27 year old brother committed suicide over a girl in Dec 2007, I thought that I would never be the same again.!! Well thanks to the wonderful friends that I met online, I realized that not only can I be myself again. I can help others. See recently my husband and I received custody of his niece (9 yrs old) and only months after welcoming her into our home she turned 10 and then the next week her 15 yr old sister committed suicide by hanging herself in her closet. Wow, does God work in mysterious ways. God placed that little girl in my house so tha I can be there for her when this tragedy happened in her life. I have to tell you at first I was discouraged and scared, but I remember what everyone on this site reminded me. Things do get better. You get into a different kind of normal and tha is ok. It has been about 3 months now and I can see this child becoming more of who she was when she moved in. I also now know that I can help through my experiences. I hate that my brother is gone, but Im glad that everyone on this site was here to bring me through that pain. I will always love everyone on this site.
