Review for Alliance of Hope for Suicide Loss Survivors, Evanston, IL, USA
Greetings,
My 33 yr old son committed suicide on Thanksgiving Day 2008. I turned to my friends for comfort, but they could only give so much with their limited experience with suicide survivors. I found the Alliance of Hope website within one week of his death because I just couldn't cope with the grief and I needed help. I was immediately part of a family of suicide survivors who knew how I felt. During the 1st month after his death, I spent hours a day on the website and I think this saved my sanity and my life. Any feeling that I was able to share was met with numerous personal notes of comfort and understanding. With time, I was able to give some comfort back to those just beginning this horrifying journey.
The name of the nonprofit, "Alliance of Hope" is so appropriate! I never have to be alone when my grief resurfaces from birthdays, holidays and special times which happen yearly. I log into the website and share my feelings and read what others are going through knowing that I am a part of the alliance forever.
I wish to thank Ronnie and others who make this website possible. Their service to helping others is nonstop from what I have observed through the years - what dedication and I am forever grateful to them.
