{"product_id":"2940046615227","title":"Unexpected Gifts: Good Grief!","description":"\u003cp\u003eI find myself asking myself the questions that were part of ….. dialogues between Rita and Joan and looking for my own answers ....\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e– a good read and well worth the hike …\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e….everybody needs to read this book. J.Hatstat, Vermont\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAuthor's note – this book was previously published as 'Rita's Story'.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhy is Joan Freed a magnet for souls mired in grief? Is it because she has a life changing plan for personal growth that succeeds for those she attracts? Or is it because she's a free spirit, expanding her own horizons, tugging and propelling others through their muck and into positivity?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConsider Rita. Rita is a sudden widow caught in a downward spiral, desperately jamming on the brakes, but failing to stop. Feeling a do-or-die need to escape her window seat prison, Rita calls Joan.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart One of 'Unexpected Gifts – Good Grief' is set in the desert southwest – Arizona. It shows Joan and Rita's sad, scary, sometimes funny (but always an adventure), journey through Joan's 7-day, 7-step program, fictionalized to protect Rita's confidentiality and the innocent.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart Two of 'Unexpected Gifts – Good Grief' details Joan's program to jump-start your own grief recovery within your own comfort zone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhile 'Unexpected Gifts...' sets the program stage for the Joan Freed Mystery\/Adventure Series, Rita is just one character and one story from Joan's files. Each situation is different. Each character presents a new state of affairs that must be conquered to come out the winner – we simply are not a 'one size fits all' world, no matter what mass manufacturers say. And how we deal with grief affects each and every one of us more than once.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Each client has a story. Each story is an adventure. And often those adventures turn into mysteries that must be solved before the story can write it's own happy ending,” Joan says.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFind out how others get through and live their own plucky new lives with joy and productivity. And tell Joan about your own story. She will listen and she will respond. And if your story winds up in a book, (she'll change your name, your place, and your time to protect you and the innocent), know that you have helped others in the best way possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSo, again, why is Joan Freed a magnet for souls mired in grief? To answer the question for yourself and others, read this book – Volume 1 of the Joan Freed life changing series – 'Good Grief!' and then the next, and the next, and so on and so on...\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYours in making all grief into good grief,\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlexie Linn\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eP.S.
