Reports and studies of near-death experiences, death-bed communications, after-death communications and a host of other transpersonal experiences occurring near death are creating a new paradigm challenging our exclusive biological and psychological understanding of death and near-death. Care provided to those near death or dying is an evolving process.



Before Dr. Elisabeth Kubler-Ross’s book, On Death & Dying, was published in 1969, rarely were dying patients or patients with cancer told of their diagnosis. Kubler-Ross’s descriptions of patient experiences created a paradigm shift in the care of dying patients and their loved ones that included a better understanding of their psychological needs. A decade later the Uniform Brain Death Act was passed to establish criteria for determining biological death needed because of advances in life support technology.



We know now occurrences near death or dying involve more than biology and psychology. There is a transpersonal component needing to be fully integrated into the care of individuals and their family members. In this book, Madelaine Lawrence, PhD, describes the known transpersonal experiences associated with near death and dying and how, in some cases, they challenge our current understanding of psychological needs and biological death. The presentation of known transpersonal experiences in one source provides a needed holistic view.

Lawrence calls for an integration of these transpersonal experiences into mainstream science and education of the public, family members and health care providers in order to provide comprehensive care of those near death and dying.(less)

Hi,

During these times of COVID-19, attacks on the Capital, senseless shootings, and a general lack of collaboration in our government, I decided to write a feel-good book about how we can help people. My hope is to have the book add positive energy to counteract the negativity.

A pocketful of $20s is a feel-good book about a nursing ED director who gifts $20s to five people at Christmas time. In addition to gifting the $20s, she also helps them out in different ways. She is humanistic in her approach and manages to help people out of tough situations using her medical background and contacts with the police and other health professionals.

I confess I give out five $20 bills at Christmas time and sometimes during the year. Here's one story.

Hi,

A pocketful of $20s is a feel-good book about a nursing ED director who gifts $20s to five people at Christmas time. In addition to gifting the $20s, she also helps them out in different ways. She is humanistic in her approach and manages to help people out of tough situations using her medical background and contacts with the police and other health professionals.

I confess I give out five $20 bills at Christmas time and sometimes during the year. Here's one story. The last day after a long cross-country drive, we stopped at a McDonald's for lunch, on Mother's Day. I gave the woman at the window $20 and told her to keep the change. At first, she was flustered and wasn't sure what to do. I told her to put the change in her pocket. She bent toward the window and told me her children were too young to do anything for her for Mother's day. The $12.75 change would be her Mother's Day present. I came home to a refrigerator stocked with food and a bouquet of flowers from my daughter. I wished I had done more for the woman at McDonald's'!

You too can make a difference. The nurse in the book gives you some good pointers.

Enjoy the book, take care, and stay well.
