Review for Tragedy Assistance Program For Survivors, Arlington, VA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

My son a two time Iraq deployment was diagnosed with PTSD . Jake took his own life march 27, 2010. I can't not express the change in life his death has has left for myself and his siblings. I leave tomorrow for Colorado Springs , a TAPS seminar for survivors of suicide related to the military. This is the one place I can go to be with others who share the loss, but just as important the workshops put in place help me with my grief, help me to channel my loss and find a place to discuss the loss. This will be my 3rd TAPS . To be honest suicide is not a subject people like to talk about, it is an isolated world for me. TAPS gives me this time to talk openly about my sons death , no shame , no judgement... It is my other place I call home .

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
