My Nonprofit Reviews

Hello, my name is Sue, I live in rural South Australia, and in 2019 my world completely shattered when my 24 year old son John died by suicide. I didn’t know what to do, how to be anymore.
My daughter was the one who found AOH in the resource section of a booklet handed to us by the police when they came to tell us about John, and she rightly believed it would be a good fit for me, her introvert mum, so I joined about a month after his loss and haven’t looked back. I immediately felt supported and understood, such complex grief is a journey best done with others who understand.
I became part of a worldwide community of survivors like myself, and in my darkest days it was my lifeline, a safe space to read and share, to begin to feel a glimmer of hope for a very different future to the one I’d always envisioned. Now, almost four and a half years later I am still a committed member of this unique and very caring community, to lean in when I need to, but also to try and provide a little of the same support I received when I first joined.
Thanks to AOH I now feel able to say to the newly bereaved that you can do this, you’re not alone, we are always here.
