My Nonprofit Reviews

On December 13, 2015, our beautiful, irreplaceable 21-year-old daughter died via suicide, after suffering a terrible trauma she could not overcome. Exactly a month later, I was injured in a severe fall, and confined to a hospital bed in my home. I found the Alliance of Hope in a search for support on-line, but I didn't dare to join it or voice my story until a year later. AOH has become an invaluable lifeline and source of support for me throughout the past nearly 8 years. The precious ability to connect with other survivors of suicide loss has helped me to find my way forward once more. As I have gradually progressed through my grief journey, AOH has also allowed me to use my experiences to assist others to find their own way and voice. Sometimes out of the worst possible experience comes understanding and healing that benefits not only yourself but includes others. The Alliance of Hope is such a place of healing and a haven for so many of the unique community of survivors of suicide loss. Peace!

My beautiful daughter completed suicide shortly before Christmas, 2015. I discovered the Alliance of Hope in January, 2016, when I was laid up, recovering from multiple surgeries. I have read their stories and listened to what others who are going through what I am, or have traveled this terrible path longer than I have. I can honestly attest that this site has kept me alive up until now, as at first I only wished to be with my deceased child. There is no way I could have made it without the knowledge and understanding of others who have lived through the aftermath of a suicide, all of us suffering these tragic losses of such dearly beloved family and friends. It is so crucial to we survivors to have a place which offers this empathy and understanding, and the Alliance of Hope surely provides that.
