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

Rating: 5 stars  

I lost my Son Thomas on the 13th April 2009 on his 21st birthday and I lost my Nephew Rob on xmas eve 2011 I have been looking for someone to talk to who may know about suicide then I found this forum Alliance of hope for suicide survivors when i joined i posted about what had happpened to my Son and the same night people posted back to me supporting me helping me as they had gone through the same pain I was going through I was thinking at last I found people who care and who really know about the pain and grief that comes with suicide. I'm not good at talking to people about my Son's death but now I can and this Forum has givin me the confidence to do so. Sometimes I get so down and when I do I log on to the Forum. There was a time not long ago when I did not want to go on with my life I just didn't want to be without my lovely Tom I posted on the Forum and asked other people if the could help me I was so mixed up and hurting inside my heart was in pieces and people started to post back to me telling me they also had times when they did not want to go on without their loved one and told me the bad times would pass that I need to be strong for my other Son and its not what my dead son would want me to do and I sat reading the posts for a long time and all that support and understanding I got from people who had gone through worse than I had stopped me from doing something that was wrong Thank God for this forum as it really has saved my life and I have friends now and when ever I fall down again I know there are people I can talk to and they will do everything they can to help me. So thank you AllIANCE OF HOPE FOR SUICIDE SURVIVORS for setting up this Forum and God bless the people who joined it because without it i do not know where I would be its a life saver. Thanks again Cecilia O Doherty
