Trigger for discussion of SUI/grief/death

Possible trigger:

I opened my Kindle app late on Thursday night to read in bed. I've been looking for books to support me in grieving the loss of my friend Steve to suicide last June. However, when I looked in my recommendations, there was a book that essentially amounted to an instruction manual for ending one's own life.

We're going to talk about it tomorrow, but I'm feeling very apprehensive, despite there being a good outcome. Following a complaint I made, and escalation with help from members of one of my grief support groups, Amazon are going to remove the book within two weeks.

Hugs, Lost.... That sounds really painful. I hope that T will be helpful. Also, could she maybe agree to check her email daily? Or, if she's open to texts, could you text her when you send an email?
