My Nonprofit Reviews

I am a suicide survivor. I never thought I would have to say those words in my lifetime. When the youngest of my three sons took his life Septmber 9, 2013 at the age of 22 I was blind sided. None of us saw it coming. We had no warning. I found him. I suffer from post traumatic stress disorder in addition to unbearable grief. I found the Alliance of Hope by chance. It has been my saving grace and lifeline.

The Alliance of Hope is a club no one wanted to join. But the members share a strong bond of love and hope. There are people who care about you, will listen to you, will cry with you, and who will try to smile with you again one day. Pain is shared but so are memories and inspiration and suggestions.

I sometimes feel like I am the weakness person I know and other days I feel I am the strongest person I know. I reach out to family and friends and my counsellor for strength. And everey day I go to Allaince of Hope for my daily inspiration, a kind word, and strength from others who know my pain and can help me deal with it.
