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

Rating: 5 stars  

On the day, my husband died by suicide in 2021, my and my sons’ world came crashing down. Suicide grief is a pain like no other. For months, we were in such shock and pain. My children needed me, but I could barely speak or function. I had fallen l down a deep dark abyss and couldn’t get myself out. While I had been blessed with supportive friends, they didn’t know or understand about the complexities of suicide grief and I felt so alone.

When I found the Alliance of Hope - six months after my husband’s suicide - it provided me with the support and resources much needed to understand the complicated and complex grief associated with a suicide death. I found different ways for my family and I to properly heal and move forward in life. it showed me different ways to navigate the suicide grief journey. I wish I found it sooner.

I think Alliance of Hope plays a unique and much needed role in the suicide community. It provides a multitude of easily accessible resources for survivors of suicide loss: a well-designed website, 24 hour online moderated forum, useful articles, blogs, books recommendations, grief groups and individual counseling

The 24/7 online moderated community forum provides kinship - a supportive, caring, loving and constructive group of grieving suicide survivors who are experiencing similar challenges.

Alliance of Hope has been my lifeline this year. With AOH, I am climbing out of the abyss and no longer feeling alone. My children and I are surviving and healing better. We can even see light at the end of the tunnel. Thank you AOH.
