Yesterday I had my 25,000th visitor to my newly designed website that launched last June.  The site has been viewed over 80,000 times.  It is quite a milestone.  As always, I am amazed and touched by the interest in my ability, the insightful questions I have received and the way each of you reach out to offer support to each other.  Thank you all!!!

Depression is something I not only deal with in my sessions, but as I mentioned during a recent Facebook Live, it is something I have dealt with on a personal level since having heart surgery a few years ago.  The folks at senioradvisor.com sent this information about ageing and depression for me to share with all of you:

Depression Does Not Have to be Linked to Ageing

It is a common misconception that ageing automatically causes depression. In surveys by the National Institute of Health, most seniors, those over 60, are in fact happy with their lives even if they are getting physically weaker or have health problems. That being said, the number of older adults who are depressed is rising with 20% of those over 65 suffering from depression. It is also true to say that older adults do have unique risk factors.

Risk Factors for Senior Citizens

For seniors, ageing does present opportunities for depression to develop. This tends to come with what happens to the body and to the brain, but also to social elements governing how lives are lived and happiness levels. This is then combined with other factors due to age such as decreased income, increased healthcare costs, the mortality of peers, friends, and family, and finally the fact that elderly citizens are less likely to ask for help than younger generations.

Risk factors include:

• Confusion
• Decreased appetite
• Delusions
• Hallucinations
• Isolation
• Memory problems
• Physical pain and irritation
• Sleeping problems
• Weight loss

Fear of Death

One of the biggest causes of stress all over the world is the fear of the unknown. This can present itself as a fear of travelling, of new things, new foods, and also, of passing away. Learning that there is something on the other side, hearing it first hand from departed souls, is of great comfort to people all over the world. Knowing there is a heaven out there is the number one salve for those feeling they are tiptoeing toward the end. It’s not the end and there is more to come.

It’s Good to Talk

For anyone suffering from depression, it is vital to find someone to talk about it with. You can watch George’s video here on is own personal struggle with depression and anxiety. Being able to talk means you can find understanding and acceptance, you can relieve yourself of these feelings and tensions, but you can also look for solutions too if you wish.

Talking might not solve everything, but it’s one of many ways to face depression head on including exercise, meditation, improved diets, and laughter. It is possible to take a fully holistic approach to overcoming depression without the need for medication. You can consider counselling or therapy, or speaking to a medium to connect with departed souls, or to work with senior focused groups to meet new people, get out more, and learn how to live better and improve your health.

Easter brings us the joys and hopes of Spring The end of the dreary and dreadful Winter (for me at least) and the renewal of new things to come. A memorable time as many of us recall being youngsters and wearing our new Easter outfits and receiving gifts from family and friends. We can still feel the loss of loved ones, of course. Especially, if they played a unique role for us at this time of year, and yet we should always remember that they are closer to us now as in other special times throughout the year. So enjoy the pleasant memories of them! I am sure they will be delighted! Easter is a time of life renewing itself. So look forward to new beginnings. A time for spiritual resurrection as well, according to your own belief system. So Happy Easter to all who celebrate it.

Thank you to all who joined me in Lindenhurst last night for my Live event at the Stidio Theatre Long Island.  It was a homecoming for me with my old grammar school OLPH just across the street.  I’m sure we’ll do another event there in the future.

Sadly, the April 30th fundraiser for the Deer Park Fire Department has been cancelled. Many of you told us you had difficulties buying tickets. The fire department had several issues with the programs that were set up to allow people to buy tickets online. Because of these issues, the event has been cancelled.

In case you missed it, you can watch my Facebook discussion about what souls do in the Hereafter and what they say about their earthly regrets.  There were tons of viewer questions on this topic.  It was also one of the top suggestions when I asked what you wanted to hear about.
