After the shock of losing her husband, Amber Roberts found forgiveness for herself and him by viewing life through a different lens.

Small steps can carry us forward. The journey after su***de loss doesn’t offer quick fixes or complete remedies, but it does invite us to discover the small comforts that make the next breath, the next step, the next moment possible.

For some, it’s the understanding presence of others who’ve walked this path. For others, it’s creating rituals that honor their loved one’s memory. Many find solace in creative expression, mindfulness practices, or simply allowing themselves to rest when the weight feels too heavy.

When a loved one dies by su***de, the weight of guilt and self-blame can be crushing. We search for answers, replaying conversations and questioning every decision we ever made.

If you’re walking this difficult path, please know you’re not alone.

The Alliance of Hope Community Forum offers a lifeline when you need it most—a place where others who understand are waiting to support you. Because in sharing our grief, we discover we are never truly alone.

In our meetings, we share our struggles with grief after a su***de death. We can help each other by listening, without judging, and by sharing our own grief experiences. Our 90-minute meetings are peer support, not therapy sessions.

Our team of trained facilitators are all long-term su***de loss survivors. We truly understand the pain of losing someone we love to su***de. See our team and bios at the bottom of this page.

We will navigate this journey together -- it is important to know that you are not alone.
