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

Rating: 5 stars  

I lost my fiance to suicide on 25 April of this year. Quickly realized that I alone would not be able to work through the grief and overwhelming pain. Have a therapist, but once a week sessions, while helpful, just not enough to work through the above issues. Quick search on the internet and found the Alliance of Hope for suicide survivors. What I found is truly amazing & comforting. The Alliance of Hope, particularly the forum, is a place where folks from all over the world come together. This includes the newly bereaved like myself, to vent, to cry, to ask questions, and begin the long journey towards healing and picking up and putting one's life back into a semblance of normalcy. Equally, and if not more important, are those on the forum/site who have been members for years, members of this special group that no one wishes to belong to. The latter folks are what make the Alliance truly special. They've been there and done that, and provide oh so invaluable advice. Without them and this forum, the path to healing would be so very much more difficult for us.

The shear amount of outpouring of support that I've received from it's members is amazing. They really helped me work through the self-blame and guilt I experienced following my fiances passing.
