Join us next month for these unique support groups for those who lost a child, sibling, parent, spouse, and more to su***de. These are beautifully compassionate and nonjudgmental spaces for your grief. Or a gift for someone else going through this loss.

Professionally facilitated peer support groups for su***de grief, loss, and bereavement.

This may resonate with some, maybe not with others. But maybe open your mind to this and see where you fall.

This may resonate with some, maybe not with others. But maybe open your mind to this and see where you fall.

Once you lose a child, they become part of everything.

💛They are there in every milestone.
💛Every holiday.
💛Every decision.
💛Every quiet moment no one else sees.

You don’t leave them behind as life moves forward.

Instead, you carry them into everything that comes next.

💛They are in the way you love.
💛The way you notice the little things.
💛The way you choose kindness.
💛The way you find the strength to keep going.

They don’t walk beside you.

They live in the center of who you have become.

💛Michelle Lyn

Our Coping After Su***de support groups for mothers, fathers, siblings, teens, 20-30 year olds, adults who lost a parent, parents with grieving children, and spouses have opened for the Fall 2026 cycle. These are very meaningful spaces for those grieving this particular loss…who may feel very alone in their grief. Gifting someone with this kind of support would also be a beautiful way to help them feel seen, heard, and understood.

Alliance of Hope has been one of my most referred resources for years, long before I started co-facilitating a mothers’ support group for them. I wish I’d known about them when we lost Jocelyn. If you’re so inclined, please consider making a donation to this nonprofit.

Please take a moment to read this message from Al and Sara, who lost their son Nathan to su***de in 2011 and want to help other su***de loss survivors. Now through August 8, they are matching donations to our annual forum sponsorship campaign (see link in their letter).

Dear Friends,

When my wife, Sara, and I lost our only child, Nathan, to su***de, our world shattered. Eleven years later, it feels like both an eternity and just yesterday. Nathan was a brilliant, loving, and kind young man, and he is deeply missed. This is a photo of all of us, together.

There are simply no words to describe the pain associated with losing a child to su***de. In the wake of Nathan’s death, we found ourselves in a fog—searching endlessly for answers amid overwhelming grief, confusion, and isolation.

Over time, we discovered that one of the most meaningful ways to honor Nathan's life was to help ensure that other families facing this unimaginable loss would not have to walk the path alone.

The Alliance of Hope made a profound difference during the darkest time of our lives. Through its peer-based online Forum, we connected with other su***de loss survivors who understood what we were going through. For the first time, we realized we were not alone.

That is why, for the fifth year in a row, we are matching donations – up to $25,000 – to the Alliance of Hope’s Forum Sponsorship campaign.

👉🏼DOUBLE YOUR IMPACT - DONATE NOW bit.ly/ProvideHopeAfterSu***de

Looking back now, we know that the support we found through the Alliance of Hope was essential to our healing. That's why we're inviting you, if you're in a position to give, to help ensure this lifeline remains available for every survivor who comes searching for hope.

The Alliance of Hope's goal is to raise $150,000 to keep its online Forum free and available to su***de loss survivors around the world.

In loving memory of Nathan, every gift made through August 8 will be matched dollar for dollar, up to $25,000.

Together, we can offer comfort, connection, and hope to those who need it most.

With gratitude,

Al & Sara
Nathan’s Parents

Yes. This is real.

Yes. This is real.

Grief often isn’t something separate from life where you “finish grieving” and then return to normal. For many people it becomes a rhythm: doing regular things, then having minutes or hours where grief moves to the front. ❤️

Support for Fathers Grieving a Child Lost to Su***de

Losing a child to su***de is an unimaginable pain, but you don’t have to face it alone. The Alliance of Hope is offering a closed support group exclusively for fathers, providing a safe and understanding space to connect, share, and heal.

A new 8-session group begins on July 14, at 7 PM (ET).

👥 Limited to 10 participants per group

📅 90-minute Zoom sessions every other week

🤝 Same group of fathers throughout the journey

🗣 Led by trained facilitators who have experienced similar loss

These groups offer a space where fathers can discuss what truly matters in the aftermath of loss. Past participants have shared that connecting with others who understand has been an invaluable part of their healing process. Reserve your spot today.
