Survivors' Comments

“We don’t know what we would have done without SOS- it literally saved our lives after our son’s suicide. Thank you for being there.” 

“We were devastated when we lost our son to suicide- nothing could have prepared us for the shock, pain and heartache we experienced. After our first meeting with SOS we felt some relief and hope, knowing that others had experienced this same event and they had survived the pain and heartache.” 

“I had to go on living and the more I talked about my story and how it impacted my life, the more comfortable I became with it….  I was then able to begin to deal with it and the grieving process.” 

“SOS helped me so much…surviving a suicide can be a very lonely and isolating grief.” 

“After becoming educated about the causes of suicide from the group and its books and videotapes, we are able to realize the extent of our son’s mental illness.” 

“In SOS, I learned to stop blaming myself- it really helped me pick up the pieces.” 

“I am very much at peace now…through SOS, my wife and I have been helped to grow beyond this.” 

“This is a very important group…. I needed SOS for my own growth.” 

"Thank God for SOS- if it weren't for this group, I'd be lost."
