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

Rating: 5 stars  

Grief…is a long and painful process. The loss of a loved one can generate our deepest sense of despair. When a loved one commits suicide we, the survivors of that act, not only have to deal with our grief, but also our sense of abandonment, the questions that we have that will always remain unanswered, the sense of guilt for what we ‘should have done’, and we have to find a support network to help us rebuild our lives. Unfortunately, the stigma of suicide detracts from the traditional support we would usually have, because the majority of people simply cannot comprehend what we are going through.

The Alliance Of Hope is an online community whose members offer guidance, real life experiences, and HOPE. The journey through my own terrible experience has been made less difficult due to the guidance, understanding, and compassion that I’ve found within the Alliance Of Hope online community. These fellow survivors have blessed me with an extended ‘family’ that understands what I am going through, do not judge, and have unwavering compassion and support. The journey is still difficult, but it is reassuring to know that I have over 2,500 brothers and sisters that want me to heal as completely as I can, as quickly as I can, and ask nothing in return.

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

making my way through a difficult time.

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

get their name out to everyone who needs this type of support.

Role:  General Member of the Public & I went looking for help.
