Review for Alliance of Hope for Suicide Loss Survivors, Evanston, IL, USA
The Alliance of Hope has been a life saver to many that have tragically been brought together from a loved one committing suicide. I doubt any of our paths would have crossed if not for this horrible life changing event. We have been given a safe place to air our emotions, thoughts, and experiences thanks to the unselfish, kindness of Ronnie Walker. We learn, and pull energy, from each other to make it through another day. Funny, "another day" sometimes that's all we have to look forward to is making through this day, to see "another day". I don't think most people understand how fragile a suicide survivor is, and they need to be educated on this so that they can give the appropriate and loving support that we so need. The Alliance if Hope has a collection of very knowledgeable , compassionate, caring people who have been there as a guiding light, to many, through this dark, ugly storm we are traveling through. I have heard some say they would never have made it without this forum, that's a pretty awesome compliment. I hope no one ever loses a loved one to suicide, but if they do I hope this forum will still be around to facilitate theirs needs as I has ours.

Review for Alliance of Hope for Suicide Loss Survivors, Evanston, IL, USA
Unexpectedly finding your father dead with a gunshot to his head has been one of the most devastating things that's ever happened to me. A part of my very soul died that day. If not for the members of the forum I'm not sure where I would be right now. I was totally exhausted from looking for answers and support and this was the only forum that would openly let you talk about what happened without censoring your post. We need to address suicide on all levels with all people. It's real, it's here, happening a lot more than it should. Please continue to support this effort in touching the lives of people who so needing this type social connection.

Review for Alliance of Hope for Suicide Loss Survivors, Evanston, IL, USA
I searched the internet for a forum that would address what I was going through and the selection was very small. The others had very little activity and I needed to talk to someone, right then. This forum has been active and very responsive to questions I've had. Suicide is a complicated situation, more so than a death from natural causes, in my opinion. It drags your heart and soul down so far that you think you will never get back up. The loss of a parent is a loss of part of you too. They have been with you all your life, now they are gone. It's so important to have forums like this for people sharing the same grief can talk. They are the only ones that really understand the magnitude of what you are going through. I'm still struggling, but knowing there is a place and people to reach out to is so important. Thank you Ronnie and all the forum moderators for providing this safe place for us all. Trace
