My Nonprofit Reviews

Its exactly 6 months since the love my life took her life in our home. I Found her, got her down and had to perform CPR. We then went through 4 days sitting beside her bedside in Intensive Care before the decision was made to remove life support. She passed shortly after.

Suicide is surrounded by Taboo and many people are reluctant to talk about it or recognize the complicated grief and stress it creates. 6 Months later I still have nightmares and dreams. The only place of comfort is in the presence of other survivors. All of a sudden the weight of silence is lifted and you can talk. it was a lonely 5 months before i found the site.

I found the Alliance of Hope by accident and find myself on there everyday. i have connected with several members and use the private message function to communicate with them. Its a place where you don't feel judged and you can express whats inside that you cannot anywhere else. The statistics show that a person who has lost someone to suicide is 400% more likely to consider suicide. However being able to talk openly in the alliance of hoopoe forum has been a god send.
