People suggest titles to be read in turn. One woman suggested a title for next month and I read it. It is a non-fiction memoir about a woman whose beloved husband chose suicide when facing Alzheimer’s.

My dilemma is that one of the members of our group lost her husband to cancer a few years ago and another one’s adult son died in January. Do you think I should give them a heads up that the book might be triggering? And if so, should I write to them privately or address it to the the group as maybe a difficult choice?

It was not my suggestion so in some ways, I’m wary of interfering. Should I just figure that the two bereaved people will decide on their own whether to read it or not?
