Collins's book, Sanity and Grace A Journey of Suicide, Survival and Strength, She writes about dealing with the devastating news of her son, Clark's Death by suicide, She shares with the readers of what she went through and how she dealt with her life after her son's death, She tried to learn more of suicide by reading books and talking with others, she wrote journals and wrote songs and poems, A good book to read, I have always been a fan of Judy Collins, but I never knew about her tortured life, This the second book of hers that Ive read, I find her inspirational. Sanity and Grace: A Journey of Suicide, Survival, and Strength Mixed feelings about this book, though they're mostly positive, I like that Judy Collins is open about her son's suicide, and it's effect on his family and friends, I like especially that the prevention of suicide isn't totally drugs there are other things like exercise and meditation, I like that she's bringing suicide out into the open and encouraging discussion, But I didn't feel the book was well organized, by turns effective and overdone, she discloses thought, emotions, action plans,
some of the writers she brings to bear and quotes were important for me to see,
some of her emotional reveal was, for me, overdone yet I see where she is,
not a fun read, She's been there. She's tried it her own, She's survived it her son's and continues to strive for a full life in the face of the constant wake of loss.
With this book, and with "The Seven T"s, Judy Collins shows us how to do the same, Her voice in print is her voice in song angelic, . . I am thankfully not a suicide survivor, but this book have me some great insight into the difficult life someone leads after a loved one commits suicide.
Kudos to Judy Collins being so open and honest about her journey, I love Judy Collins as a singer, activist, artist, and general allaround affirmation of what is best in the human spirit, I saw her in concert last year and even now, in hers, she has that feisty combination of warmth and of not suffering fools easily that has always endeared her to me.
In this book, she explores weighty issues and opens her soul to the reader about her own experience with suicidal thoughts and the actual suicide of her son, Clark, at agein.
This is not a

book about death however, but about life and the transcendence of death and despair over death, Collins' demons are hardly unique to her, and she knows it, and she knows that you know it too, and she writes from a place of respect for that shared humanity.
This is a book worth reading not only for the practical tips she shares for those going through indescribable pain and grief, but for the very intimate window it provides into a most lovely soul and spirit.
Beautifully written story of her recovery and survival from her son's suicide, This book gives a whole new light to dealing with a family member who committed suicide genetic predisposition and society's views, Sanity and Grace reads like a Judy Collins songsmooth, lilting, heartwrenching,I read this book because the author Judy Collins was going to be singing at a function I was attending, I have read a lot of books on suicide loss so I didn't think this one had a lot of new information.
However, because she is a songwriter, I think this book was more enjoyable to read, She had a nice writing style for such a painful subject,

Judy did tons of reading after she lost her son to suicide, This was theth book I read on the subject, and I used her book as resource to help me pick which books to read next.


If you read this, I would also read The Seven T's, I love Judy Collins, but I like her singing better than her writing, This book, written after her son committed suicide, sheds light on the effects of a suicide on the survivors, At times I felt like I was reading someone's private journal, which I was. It might have been a better book if she had waited until she was a little less raw to write it, Judith Marjorie Collins is an American folk and standards singer and songwriter, known for the stunning purity of her soprano for her eclectic tastes in the material she records which has included folk, showtunes, pop, and rock and roll and for her social activism.
