Review for Tragedy Assistance Program For Survivors, Arlington, VA, USA
I've been a suicide victim since I was 15 years old, carrying almost like the grim reaper around on my shoulders day in and day out... then at age 42 I lost my only son by suicide... I got help after loosing my mother at age 15, it didn't help me that much at all. My counselor was good but if you've never walked in this... book smart isn't always what you need. Since my son was Military this wonderful organization called Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS) got in touch with us... Well I decided early on I may need help but I didn't want to do a group, I'm the kind of person who likes my privacy, most days I didn't get dressed, etc... so I started checking this thing called taps out. Long story short I found the online groups and then the chats. I cannot stress to you the difference that has made in my life. I really just wanted to die after losing my son~ he saved my life the day I gave birth to him. He was a promise that I would never be alone, always love, etc... Well taps has been my savior the only bad thing is I don't know of anything like this for the public that has no military to be a part of this organization. I'm thinking maybe that's my calling in life is to be able to structure a mirror of taps to help Suicide Victims and families accross the nation.... Yeah it's a big calling but who knows maybe I can work miracles?
