My Nonprofit Reviews

On December 29th, 2010, my world forever changed. I lost someone I dearly loved to suicide.
In the aftermath of this horror I was completely lost - cast adrift in an unfamiliar, frightening, lonely, and chaotic world that I never imagined that I would find myself in.
One very long and lonely night, as I was desparately searching the internet for anything that would help me make sense of this, I came across the Alliance of Hope for Suicide Survivors website.
Although I had in the past distanced myself from anything smacking of "social media" I was drawn to the sensitive and heartfelt blogs and posts.
5 days into the horror and isolation, I found myself in a community of others who knew all too well my pain and confusion.
As a moderator Ronnie Walker brings both painful life experience as well as compassionate and professional guidence.
I felt like I found a home - a family - a gathering of hearts and souls that encircled me despite their own searing losses. I literally found my lifeline.
The Alliance of Hope for Suicide Survivors has given me a sacred space to come at any hour on any day. Here I am free to be and to experience all that I am. There is always someone at the other end who reads, cares, reaches out, and allows me to breathe once more.
A virtual shoulder to lean on, a virtual hand to hold, and a real person who relates at a level that few can all that I am experiencing.
Here I have found a place to begin to heal.
