Less familiar, but known to most social workers in hospice and other end of life settings, is that NDEs are part of a constellation of unexplained phenomena often reported around the time of death. Forty years later, most people are familiar with at least some of the elements that often constitute such an experience and there have been dozens of research studies published in peer-reviewed journals exploring the origins, characteristics, impact, demographic, and cross-cultural features of these experiences. In 1975, in his groundbreaking work Life After Life, Raymond Moody, MD, coined a phrase to describe what was then a largely unknown phenomenon, the near-death experience (NDE). Near-death experiences, deathbed visions, and after-death communication are phenomena that social workers in end-of-life settings say clients and their families encounter.

Lonnie also provides services to persons experiencing Depression, Anxiety, Bipolar Disorder, grief and loss, self-esteem issues, adjustment disorders, life transitions, aging in place, and end of life decisions. I currently specialize in working with older adults and caregivers of persons with chronic illnesses, such as Alzheimer’s Disease, Dementia, and COPD. I have provided bereavement counseling to adults in the South Florida community for over 7 years and has worked with the Children’s Bereavement Center. I have worked extensively with the older population and hospice patients. I have extensive knowledge and resources in all of these areas. Have you experienced a recent loss, death, or life change? Are you grieving the loss? Grief is not only about losing a loved one, it is about all kinds of loss? Are you grieving having to move from the home you love and move into an Independent or Assisted Living Facility? Are you grieving the loss of your identity after retirement? Or losing the ability to safely drive a car and having to give up your car keys? I can help you navigate these challenges and find solutions to your problems. So, now what? There is help, but you need to know what to do and where to go to find it. Where do you begin to find resources to help you, your loved one, and/or aging parent? What services are there? How do you pay for it all? Does Medicare cover Assisted Living or Nursing Home room and board? What about in home care? Medicare does not cover these expenses.

No one ever told us growing old was going to have so many challenges. Or your body is strong, and you are becoming more and more forgetful. Your mind might be sharp, but your body is not cooperating. What if I told you that you are not alone in this? Getting older has its challenges. Do you/they resent losing independence being told what they can and cannot do? Do you find yourself arguing with your spouse, adult children, or aging parents? Perhaps someone has become a little unsteady on their feet, yet they hate the idea of having to use a cane, walker, or wheelchair. Do you find you or your parents getting older and needing to navigate some unanticipated changes?
