Meet Dr. Lynda

Dr. Lynda Boucugnani-Whitehead

Dr. Lynda Boucugnani-Whitehead is a neuropsychologist with over 40 years of experience in helping children and their families understand learning, behavioral and emotional differences, the brain and its workings. Now a full-time author, she is sharing stories of purpose, love, and grief. Though retired from private practice, Dr. Lynda now continues to consult with geriatric patients and their care. In this next life chapter, her primary purpose is writing and sharing information. Her passion, however, remains the same: to teach and empower others to find their true selves and understand their minds and bodies.

Where Science Meets the Eternal

Dr. Lynda’s lifelong curiosity about the human mind naturally led her to one of life’s greatest questions: what happens after we die? Drawing on decades of neuropsychological research and interviews with near-death experiencers, she brings insight and compassion to a topic that unites all people—our longing to understand the afterlife. Her writing bridges the seen and unseen, offering comfort to those who grieve and inspiration to those who wonder. In her work, death is not an ending, but a continuation of the great mystery of love and consciousness.

Books

In her books, Dr. Lynda invites readers on a journey of intellectual and emotional discoveries. With the mind of a neuropsychologist and the spirit of a healer- Dr. Lynda hopes those who read her books walk away with a complete understanding of her subjects- whether that’s grief, love, memory and brain functioning, or self-discovery. Her first book, Journey, dives into Dr. Lynda’s personal story dealing with the loss of her daughter from both a private and professional standpoint. Her upcoming second book explores how negative experiences can be transformed into positive, life-affirming periods, once we understand. It also explores the meaning of life, the nature and feel of true love, love in one’s older years and how living with a purpose brings joy to one’s life.

“I want people to leave reading that book with their own self-understanding about love, understanding how you can turn something that seems very negative in your life into something very positive in your life”, said Dr. Lynda.

Books are available on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, select area retailers, and directly from the publisher.

Don’t pidgeon hole this book

“The main story is powerful, sad, inspirational, and full of hope, but if that is all you get, you need to give this book a full read. It’s only 200 pages but it packs a lot of content. Very good and practical suggestions for people experiencing loss, even if not as traumatic as the Author’s. If you are a treating mental health professional, clergy or friend, this is a must read! There is a sprinkling of spirituality, which I loved. There aren’t a lot of good grief books out there, I know This is one of them.”

What a beautiful gift you have given so many who have lost a son or daughter and others.  Your love and honesty, you open your entire self to tell a beautiful story of grief and love.  I could hear your voice as I read each chapter.  It truly is a journey of a mother’s love.  Beautiful!

Lynda, I finished reading your book ‘journey’ yesterday.  As always, it was provocative, yet wonderful and uplifting. You captured my attention throughout. You will help and guide those who experience similar tragedies. Such an event would overwhelm any parent. You will have awarded them a path to a sense of acceptance that will soften their sadness and disbelief.  Their sadness will still exist, but your wonderful book will have given them their first step to begin to heal.
