Catastrophic events
Witnessing or being present at a traumatic death or accident
Being present when someone died suddenly or violently. Witnessing an accident, a medical emergency, or a death in a way that was traumatic and that stayed with you. Not the loss of someone you knew necessarily, but the experience of witnessing something that the mind struggles to process.
If some version of this is part of your story, you already know that the hardest part is rarely the memory itself. It is carrying it in a world that mostly does not want to hear about it. This fellowship exists so you do not have to carry it alone, and so you never have to explain it to someone who has no idea what it means.
Nothing on this page is a diagnosis, and nothing here decides what is wrong with you, because nothing is wrong with you. Something happened to you. This page exists so that when you are ready, you can find people who understand it from the inside.
You do not have to carry this alone.
Bridge of Hope Recovery is a free, anonymous, peer-led fellowship for trauma survivors. Meetings run throughout the week by phone, by video, and in person. No cost, no waitlist, no one asking for your real name.
