Review

My father died by suicide. After searching for support online, I came across Billy’s Lifeline and reached out for help for my family. At my father’s funeral, we decided to raise money for the charity so others could benefit from their support as well.

In the wake of our loss, I felt a whirlwind of emotions, and Billy’s Lifeline helped me understand that it was okay to feel everything I was experiencing. They provided support during the difficult, practical aftermath of my father’s passing, which took a huge weight off my shoulders and made things less overwhelming.

Knowing I wasn’t alone in this journey helped me cope with my grief and taught me to take each day as it comes. The group support sessions have been a lifeline for me. Being around others on similar journeys has made me realize I’m not alone. Sharing my story in a safe space has helped ease the shame and stigma I once felt about suicide. Talking openly with others who understand makes all the difference.

Billy’s Lifeline has given me the courage to be myself and express how I truly feel. Each day, I feel a little stronger and more able to share my story.
