In addition, my background in education and mental health have enriched my practice greatly as I merge those skills with my ability to psychically connect to my clients and/or their loved ones in the Spirit World. I also am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Marriage and Family Therapist.
To Where You Are
Vicki Joyce Braden, Ph. D., LCSW, MFT
The year 2014 promised to be one of the best and most rewarding for my husband and me. Bill finally had retired, and we permanently had moved to The Villages, Florida, often referred to as the Disneyland for Adults. We just had returned from a holiday in Australia and New Zealand. A European river cruise on the Rhine, a two-week stay in Scotland, and finally a trip to Hawaii, which Bill always referred to as Paradise, were on the horizon. Within nine months, my world suddenly imploded. While vacationing in Hawaii, Bill suffered a stroke and never regained consciousness. He passed away three weeks later the day after he was medevacked back to Florida.
The day after his passing, I noticed a cardinal pecking at my lanai window. I never had seen cardinals out this window. In fact, I never had noticed cardinals in Florida. Indiana, yes, Florida no. Why now had they suddenly appeared? I dismissed the thought that Bill was trying to communicate but still found the idea curious, especially since cardinals were the mascot at the university from which he had recently retired. He even had an app on his phone of cardinals chirping for use at university events. Furthermore, some believed that cardinals were harbingers for those no longer with us. The bird insisted on getting my attention until I finally went outside. For a brief moment, it stared at me as if to say, “I am here,” before flying away.....
