About Hannah’s Story
Live Hannah’s Hope was created by her mother, Laura Warburton, and is dedicated to helping youth to live the life Hannah so desperately wanted but couldn’t because she couldn’t figure out how to stop her pain. She hid her pain instead of reaching out to her friends for help. She was embarrassed and ashamed. #SayNoToShame.
This site is full of possible solutions. Some of these solutions have already helped many children and adults overcome the temporary pain that too often drives one to suicide. We also have wonderful programs like the Hannah Warburton Resilience Award. We have resources for anyone who is touched by suicide.
We don’t live by ‘what ifs’. It’s impossible to find peace there. Instead, we choose to live by the concept of ‘because of’. Here, we learn from Hannah’s tragic death with hope that others will live through their pain and find joy and peace in this amazing life.
