“Grief doesn’t happen the same way twice. There’s no predictability to it. The fact that I am grieving is recognizable, but its order and legibility are a complete mystery.”
— Alexandra Wyman
What to Do When Someone You Love Chooses Death
The Suicide Club
What People Are Saying
“This book was phenomenal and so well written. Wyman did such a great job of painting a picture of her own journey of healing after losing her husband to suicide. You could feel her growth throughout the chapters. This book is raw, vulnerable, hard, beautiful and should be on everyone’s shelf.
My own lover has suicide in his family and it’s always been a difficult conversation. This book really helped to have some of those tough conversation that so easily get swept under the rug. Wymans story helped to process our own emotions as she shared so openly and vulnerably. Her perspective on suicide is inspiring.
This is such a special book that will help so many.
10/10 recommend.”

“Life is messy, unpredictable, raw, and very difficult. The author, Alexandra Wyman, wrote a beautifully woven book where she not only shares her vulnerabilities, but also shares how the stages of grief can look different for everyone. She shares her struggles of dealing with a loss of her husband due to suicide. Her story is one of bravery and of loss. Most importantly though, I gained an understanding that even though grief is very unique to each individual, we are not alone. In life, we will have good days, bad days, and sometimes unbearable days that will always be a part of our inner selves. I would highly recommend reading this book for so many reasons. The way it was written makes you know that you are not alone. It makes you feel that no matter the circumstances, no matter the grief, it is okay to be yourself. It is okay to not go it alone. People are built to help one another! Very inspiring and glad I had the chance to grow from her story.”

“Suicide is one of those things we are all touched by in one way or another. This book really helps to not only process the fact that you have lost someone to suicide, but also how to move forward in life without the person who chose to leave. Alexandra Wyman's words gave me chills reading how she joined the suicide club and how she worked through the grief process. My favorite thing she wrote is that grief and life are not linear, you do not go through all the steps like they are written about in phycology books on grief. It comes in waves. You need to get this book or gift it to someone who is going through this. it is such a good read and really helps in the grief process!!”
