Jenny from Ukiah, CA, asked:
Hi Julie,
I just discovered your radio show. Thank you.
My dad has stage 4 lung cancer but is not yet in hospice. I want to be there with him when he passes on and to also be there for my mom. She is in denial right now about how sick he is and will likely have a hard time saying good bye when the time comes.
Can you please tell me what stage of dying my dad is in? His name is Robbie and he lives in Indianapolis.
I know it may not be possible for me to plan when I need to be in Indianapolis for hospice, however, I am trying to gauge when to be there for what may be a long period of time. I’m trying to plan around home and work so I can spend as much time as possible with my parents. Any insights you can share would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for all you do!
Hi Jenny,
So sorry to hear of your dad’s diagnosis. In order to get some information for you, I first connected to you in California and then from you to your dad in Indiana.
At this moment in time, he is in Phase 7 of the Twelve Phases of Transition. That means his spirit is out of his body and is attached to the top of his head in a bubble configuration. It looks like the balloon seen in a cartoon caption that represents the thoughts or words of a character.
His parents’ spirits are at his feet and anchor a horseshoe of angels extending out both to the right and left. There are several other spirits of deceased relatives, friends, and pets present as well.
All of these angels and spirits are all part of what I call the “Welcome To Heaven” committee and are an integral part of helping us transition from physical to non-physical (spirit) form when we die.
Your dad told me he isn’t ready to go, is in pain, and would just like his family around him. He said he plans to be here through Christmas.
He also said he’d love to have you home for the holidays and for you to come whenever you can.
Everyone progresses through the Twelve Phases of Transition at their own pace. I’ve seen people navigate all 12 Phases in an instant while others can take days, weeks, or even months. And, I’ve even seen people in late Phases rally and completely recover from their illnesses and medical conditions.
Please consider getting a copy of my book Angelic Attendants: What Really Happens As We Transition From This Life Into The Next. It will educate you about what to expect and can help comfort you as you and your family go through this experience with your dad.
Also, please feel free to call in to my show on Thursdays at 5pm PT/8pm ET for an update or schedule a private session. I’ll be delighted to scan your dad and hopefully convey information that can help you with your travel arrangements.
Sending big hugs!
