Dear friends,
After 17 years of the Suicide Survivors’ Club being a resource for those who have lost loved ones to suicide, as of July 1st, 2024 we will be winding down our services. This decision was not made lightly, and our hearts will always go out to those impacted by suicide.
Our book sets and activity guides will still be available upon request indefinitely, at no cost through the email our email (suicidesurvivorsclubmn@gmail.com), but it will be monitored less frequently.

Thank you,
Your friends from SSC

Facts
Memorable Quotes
"Most Impressed"
"Complexity of the Process"
"A Labor of Love"
“As a family therapist specializing in grief I was most impressed with the way in which this series captures the internal world of a particular family grieving a suicide death. One can hear in each family member’s words how differently they experienced their loss developmentally and how they evolved over time.”
“These books should help any reader to better comprehend the complexity of the process of recovery from the suicide of a loved one, that it can’t be sorted into neat boxes, that it takes a long long long time, and that much of it involves living an ordinary life, an ordinary life that makes acres of room for grieving and healing.”
"Parenting the Suicide Survivor’s Club is a labor of love and a heartfelt gift to suicide survivors everywhere. Author Rebecca Anderson shares this most intimate and private journey for the common good of all of us who have shared a death of a loved one by suicide. She provides another option for the healing journey and step by step shows us the way. ”
