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