Since 2008, the Alliance of Hope has been working to decrease stigma, increase understanding of the suicide loss experience, and provide direct support to survivors.

Losing a loved one to suicide can be life-altering. It is helpful to understand what you or your loved ones are experiencing. Learn about common emotions and challenges, the grief journey, and what can help.

From his website:
”David Kessler is one of the world’s foremost experts on grief and loss. His experience with thousands of people on the edge of life and death has taught him the secrets to living a happy and fulfilled life, even afterlife’s tragedies. He is the author of six books, including the new bestselling book, Finding Meaning: The Sixth Stage of Grief. He coauthored two books with Elisabeth Kubler Ross, including On Grief and Grieving updated her 5 stages for grief. His first book, The Needs of The Dying received praise from Saint (Mother) Teresa.”

I highly recommend all parents who have children across the veil to join the Facebook group and check out their website, I couldn’t have gotten through this without them. There are many FREE resources, meetings, and support groups. There are many sub-groups for suicide survivors, special needs fathers, and siblings, the list is long., They also have free support through caring listeners, see the list on their website.

Helping Parents Heal is a non-profit organization dedicated to assisting parents whose children have passed. Through support and resources, we aspire to help individuals become "Shining Light Parents," meaning a shift from a state of emotional heaviness to hopefulness and greater peace of mind. HPH goes a step beyond other groups by allowing the open discussion of spiritual experiences and afterlife evidence in a non-dogmatic way. HPH welcomes everyone regardless of religious or non-religious background and encourages open dialog.

“My mission has changed from serving my country to serving those who are dealing with the challenges of being human. You may feel broken. You may be wounded. But it is my greatest honor to help you discover you are a soul, and your soul is perfectly fine.” – Suzanne
