{ "item_title" : "A Friend in Need...", "item_author" : [" Sol Gordon "], "item_description" : "The only effective way of dealing with pain is to live through it. -- Sol GordonDo you have friends or family members dealing with addiction, terminal illness, depression, suicide, AIDS, miscarriages, abusive spouses, deaths of loved ones, or problem children? If your answer is no, then you have either not lived long enough to encounter these real life situations or you have spent most of your life in a coma. If your answer is yes, then don't feel sorry for yourself--you are fortunate to live in the real world.Psychologist Sol Gordon is able to tackle all these problems in this one book, because he focuses not so much on healing as on how to react to these problems as a friend. There is a healing benefit, however, because in administering to the needs of others there comes a self-realization that can have a beneficial impact on the individual who is trying to comfort or assist a friend or loved one. Few things in life are certain, but the one thing you can count on is that your time will eventually come. It's just a matter of time.We need to be aware--and putting this book together has made me acutely aware--that pain is part of the human condition, writes Gordon. There is no way we can avoid pain in our lives, or in those of our friends.This is one of the best books of this kind, especially the sections on facing terminal illness and grieving.-A Closer Look", "item_img_path" : "https://covers2.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/1/57/392/792/1573927929_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "29.95", "online_price" : "29.95", "our_price" : "29.95", "club_price" : "29.95", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
