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

Rating: 5 stars  

I lost my young daughter to suicide 18 months ago. The agonizing grief, despair and disorientation that comes from suicide loss is indescribable to anyone who hasn't experienced this tragedy.

I was seriously contemplating my own suicide when I stumbled across the Alliance of Hope website during another sleepless night. There were no Psychologists or useless platitudes that I found on other loss support sites. Just people like me who had lost someone they loved dearly to suicide, making their way through as best they could.

I waited a month before making my first tentative post and was overwhelmed by the compassionate responses I received from people who were in the middle of their own struggles. The AOH has been my constant companion and almost sole source of support since. I can say in all honesty that if I hadn't found this site I may not be here to write this review.
