Review for Alliance of Hope for Suicide Loss Survivors, Evanston, IL, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I lost my husband of 37 years to suicide in November 2019. I was shocked and devastated. I began counseling to cope with my grief, but after a few sessions I knew that my therapist was not the right fit for me. Before I could find another therapist, Covid 19 shut down the world as we knew it. I was on my own to manage my grief. I began to research and read everything that I could about suicide loss and grief. It helped a little, but I was still so lost and hurting. Then I found Alliance of Hope. At first I just read through the posts of others. I realized that the individuals on AoH understood what I was going through and how I was feeling. I signed up, introduced myself and began posting. Immediately I was welcomed by so many kind, caring people who understood my grief and validated my feelings. I felt safe in posting exactly what I was feeling, and never be judged; only met with compassion. I still have a long way to go in my journey toward healing, but I am forever grateful for the wonderful people on AoH that have brought me to where I am today.
