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

Rating: 5 stars  

I am the survivior of multipe suicides. My mother, brother, sister and uncle all killed themselves in one way or another. Only one left a note, my mother. In it she said we were all "good little angels." She shot herself through the heart when I was almost 5 years old. My sister died of alcoholism at age 43 and my brother starved himself to death at age 47. My uncle drank himself to death when he was also in his 40's. This organization has helped me realize that it is okay to talk about suicide. I feel safe here. I find that most people find out you are a survivor of suicide and say they are so sorry and then change the topic. Maybe, we NEED to talk about it, so let's not shove it under the rug. This forum allows you to do just that!
