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

Rating: 5 stars  

I lost my husband August 16,2012 to suicide. I was devastated, not only by the loss of the man I'd shared the past 19 years with, but also by being a witness to his death. I had wonderful support in the early days from family, friends and clergy, but there was always a component missing from the comfort they could provide and that was the understanding that can only come from someone whose been there, whose walked through the fire and come out the other side alive. I often think of the survivors of suicide as the 'walking wounded.' It was the Alliance of Hope website that provided that comfort, support, and understanding that had been missing from other sources. I credit the lion's share of the recovery I've made to this forum, even over the individual sessions I spent with a grief counselor.
Alliance of Hope has been a true blessing to me!
