Are there any services in Dutchess County, NY that can provide support to a depressed 95 year old who is afraid of dying,& is not terminal
Carol Bradley Bursack, May 12, 2011
Over the span of two decades author, columnist and speaker Carol Bradley Bursack cared for a neighbor and six elderly family members. Because of this experience, Bradley Bursack created a portable support group, the book "Minding Our Elders: Caregivers Share Their Personal Stories."
Does this person have a religious affiliation? If so, that is probably the preferred choice. A clergy person could counsel the person. If not, there are grief counselors who can help. This is very sad. The person's depression may be managed better with some counseling, as well. Please speak to the doctor about this.Take care,Carol

I agree with Carol, she took the thought right out of my head.
