What Our Clients Say...

“I feel better able to deal with what has happened.”

“Still working on it but have come along way. At the beginning I was not sure I could continue after my son’s death. Thanks to [Heartache2Hope], I feel like I can survive this.”

“Surviving a suicide is a very unique kind of grief. As a family, we attend therapy sessions with a Therapist who provides general grief counseling. While both types of therapy are beneficial, I feel the support from Heartache2Hope is much more effective.”

“It helped me tremendously!”

"Heartache2Hope has made an incredible difference in my life, and I cannot thank them enough. The resources and counseling they provide is invaluable, and I met a community of wonderful people who support me unconditionally. I hope others can find peace and support through this organization."

"There are no words for how much the support I have received has been so valuable."

"I don’t know how we would have got through the loss of our daughter without the assistance of Heartache2Hope."

"I am so appreciative of this program because it is particularly dedicated to survivors of a death by suicide. It is a unique program for people with this tragic experience that no one else can truly understand especially when it is your child. They saved my life and brought me through the darkest time of my life the loss of my son to suicide. Forever grateful."

"The program exceeded my expectations in every way. Amazing, supportive, understanding facilitators. The readings were informative and helpful. My experience in the Closed Group has been extremely helpful in helping me deal with the emotions and grief related to my sister's death.”
