My story

FORDE FAMILY STATEMENT

Victim Support reaches out to those who are facing some of the darkest moments in their lives. We cannot underestimate the impact of having someone ready to listen, to support and to care about what has happened. In particular, it is important that there is a caring voice from outside the family, in our case Diane Atkins.

Tragedy is a lonely place, a place where every victim is totally alone in their own unique place. There is a deep need to find solace, to find meaning, to find support. No-one is ever ready, ever prepared for such a moment.Only the experienced carer, such as Diane and in our case family and friends can surround you, can comfort and console you.  At times indeed there is only God to turn to, but without support, without help, then tragedy is a dismal place, often void of meaning.

Victim Support helps shine a light, helps to bring rays of hope.

To Victim Support we are most thankful, and I would advise any victim to seek help there.
