Dying

Sudden Passings

Terisa from Nashville, TN, asked:    

Hi Julie,

I just listened to your Positivehead Podcast interview with Brandon Beachum and have to say it blew my mind.

You do some truly fascinating work! Thank you, thank you for doing what you’re doing. I think one day I’d love to get one of those “spiritual tune-ups”.

I stopped by your website to check out the 12 Phases of Transition graphics you mentioned. Such interesting visuals! I sensed some of that going on when I was present for the passing of a loved one.

A burning question I had about the 12 phases you laid out is, how does this play out for sudden and unexpected deaths like accidents, bombings, and even suicides?

Looking forward to hearing from you.

With love and eternal light, Terisa 

Hi Terisa,

Thanks for listening to my interview with Brandon and for your kind comments. What a great question you’ve posed.

Here’s the answer. Everyone goes through the Twelve Phases of Transition regardless of how they die.

In the case of sudden death like a homicide, suicide, accident, etc., the progression through all 12 phases can happen in an instant. In other situations, the 12 phases can take days, weeks, months, even years. It’s all determined by the person’s spirit and what it wants to experience in this lifetime.

Keep in mind, our concept of time, what’s known as linear time, is man-made. It doesn’t exist in the non-physical spirit world. It’s certainly feasible that 100 years in our time is a nanosecond in non-physical.

For more information, please read or listen to my book, Angelic Attendants: What Really Happens As We Transition From This World Into The Next.

Mom In Transition

3 Comments / /

Cindy from San Pedro, CA, asked:
Hi Julie,
My mom has several medical conditions and just one of them is cancer.  

She seems comfortable but I would like to know where she is in her transition.  

She talks about relatives that are deceased and I was wondering if they are already coming for her and are preparing her for her transition.

Although she is very sick, she doesn’t seem like she is in the dying process yet.

Her name is Lucy.

Thank you!

Cindy

Hi Cindy,

In order to get some information on your mom Lucy, I first energetically connected to you and from you to her.

When I connected with your mom, I could see (in my mind’s eye) that she is currently in Phase 7 of the Twelve Phases of Transition. That means her spirit is detaching from her body and is attached to the top of her head. It looks like a bubble you’d see in a cartoon where the character’s thoughts or words are contained.

Your mom’s deceased parents are at her feet and they anchor a semi-circle of angels. Behind them are lots of deceased family and friends. I call this group the “Welcome to Heaven Committee”. In addition, there are two angels on either side of your mom’s spirit bubble. They will eventually create a vortex above your mom’s head from moving their wings. This vortex will have an upward pull and help her spirit separate from her body.

It’s quite common for people to mention and even say they see deceased loved ones as they’re approaching death. Most hospice literature advises the family to expect this. At this point, it’s as if your mom has one foot in this human reality and one in the spirit world. If she says she’s seeing deceased loved ones, she really is. She’s not hallucinating.

You may want to read or listen to my book Angelic Attendants: What Really Happens As We Transition From This Life Into The Next. I believe you’ll find it informative, comforting and heartwarming.

In addition, look for little miracles as you go through this time with your mom. They’ll be plentiful and will give you a sense of peace.

Sending hugs to you and your family!

Missing Min Pin

Lisa from Springfield, MO, asked:

Hi Julie,

I got some sad news today from my mom. She said when she and her husband got home after a day of events, her old, blind, Miniature Pinscher, Cassy was missing.

My parents live in the country but have neighbors around them and let Cassy stay outside that day. Since she’s blind she usually doesn’t stray.

My mom and her husband looked all over and called for Cassy but didn’t find her. While searching, my mom noticed their neighbors watching them look for Cassy. She thought they were acting suspiciously. (By the way, there is a horrible history with this neighbor that involved a terrible injury to Cassy and an animal abuse law suit.)

Later, in the middle of the night, my mom said something spoke to her and said the neighbor killed Cassy.

Julie would you please connect with Cassy and tell us what happened?

My mom is so extremely sad about her dog.

Thank you!

Lisa

Hi Lisa,

I’m sorry to hear about Cassy and can only imagine the grief your mother and her husband are feeling. Anyone who has ever lost a cherished pet knows how heartbreaking it can be.

In order to get some information for you, I connected with you and through you with Cassy. She is no longer alive.

She told me she wandered off to die and did not suffer.

I’ve often heard how animals are prone to hide or wander off as they’re dying and decided to investigate the reason why they do this.

There is a lot of information on this topic and the following does a good job of summarizing the pertinent information.

Wagwalking.com said, “Even though dogs are domesticated, they have natural instincts to survive in the wild. Dogs in the wild did what was necessary to protect themselves and throughout their lives they hunted, roamed, stayed in a pack, and defended themselves against predators. A dog whose body is failing him and who doesn’t have the ability to fight back, sometimes hides. His instinct is to isolate himself for protection.”

The article went on to say, “If your dog hides at the end of his life, it’s not because he didn’t love you or consider you his best friend. Even if you would have given him every comfort at the end, he was just following an instinct as a dog to hide for protection.”

Please let your mother know Cassy is still around her, just now in spirit form. If your mom thinks she momentarily sees Cassy out of the corner of her eye, thinks she hears or feels her, she is. It’ll be Cassy letting her know she’s close by.

Hope you and your mom find this information helpful and most of all comforting.

Heart Stop

Catherine from Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, asked:

Hi Julie,

The internet is a wonderful thing. Through a series of podcasts and health and fitness related blogs, I found your podcasts and website. I’m enjoying listening to your shows.

In one of your early podcasts you mentioned a book. I was driving and unable to write the name. Was it was something about wings? I couldn’t find the title on your blog or in the show notes.

I’m a registered nurse, and very much believe in the spirits that surround us. I used to practice Therapeutic Touch, but I have been busy raising my children and not practicing.

My mother in-law died almost 3 years ago, and I stayed with her in palliative care for about a week before she passed (she lived in a different city).

The night before she died, she was restless (not speaking at this point). I sensed fear and held her hand for part of the night (I was lying in a cot next to her bed).

I have 2 questions about this:

1) Do spirits leave the body before the heart stops? I felt like she left that night (not the next evening when her heart stopped).

2) Spirit-wise, is she something else besides my mother in-law in this life? I have felt her presence several times over the last 2.5 years, especially when I was competing in a triathlon about 6 months after she died.

I believe she knows how much her grandchildren and I miss her.

I’m sure you are very busy, so “thank you” for taking the time to read my questions.

Hi Catherine,

I’m delighted you found my podcast and to hear from you. Thanks for your kind words about the show.

Regarding your questions, spirits depart after the heart stops beating and your mother-in-law is always around you, your children, and other loved ones. She is basically the same, only now she’s without her body. Any (what we humans perceive to be negative personality traits) are now non-existent. They stay with the body. In spirit form, your mother-in-law (like all of us) is a limitless being of pure positive love and acceptance.

What a loving, kind, wonderful gift you gave your mother-in-law by staying with her and doing something as simple as holding her hand while she was dying.

Many of us are afraid of death. Watching a loved one go through the dying process is unnerving, especially because it forces us to confront our own mortality. We like to have control of our lives and our environment, and we often find not knowing an outcome to be frightening. After all, humans interpret ambiguity as a bad thing, when it’s simply just a lack of information.

It has been my experience both personally and with countless friends and clients that the dying process always contains a glorious component. What’s better than having your loved one be surrounded by angels, their deceased family, friends, and pets’ spirits and to have an angelic escort to Heaven?

Please check out the illustrations for the Twelve Phases of Transition on my website and you’ll see what I’m describing.  

Also, the book I mentioned during an earlier show was Hands of Light by Barbara Brennan, PhD.

Dr. Brennan is a former NASA physicist who was able to make complicated energetic theories understandable for those of us with non-scientific minds. She founded an accredited healing arts school where people come from all over the world to study her methods. You can even get a Bachelor’s degree there.

Hands of Light was a book that launched my interest in energy medicine more than 20 years ago and happened to be the first text book used when I began my medical intuitive education.

I am a graduate of the School of Healing Arts in Nashville, TN and was taught by a graduate of Dr. Brennan’s school, Susan Austin-Crumpton.

Hope this information is helpful.

Yellow Rose Connection

/

Shann from Battle Creek, MI, asked:

Hi Julie,

I have just found your show. It’s amazing. The first show I listened to was the dad passing and the yellow roses.

My dad had just passed about 10 days before that and he had yellow roses at his funeral.

The moment I heard the story, I had an overwhelming feeling to go get a yellow rose bouquet for my mom and to tell her dad was well. He passed from cancer.

So many things from your show have touched a chord in me.

My question is … my mother is also fighting cancer for the 3rd time.

What is the best treatment for her right now?

Will she beat this again and what can I do for her? Thank you for your time.

Hi Shann,

My condolences on the loss of your father. It is amazing how our deceased loved ones get information to us.

Your hearing Allie’s story about her recently deceased dad asking her to give yellow roses to her mom and to say they were from him was how your dad got a message to you. Nothing is a coincidence. Just proves how we’re all connected.

As for your mom and her health situation, I attempted to do a scan on her. First I connected to you then from you to her. When I psychically asked her permission to scan her, she refused, so I didn’t do one.

Your mother told me she feels you have had enough stress in your life and don’t need to worry about her too.

She said she just wants your love. She also said she’d appreciate your helping her make this year’s Christmas holidays the “happiest ever” (her words).

Your mother told me she’d like to do holiday activities with you. Go to Christmas concerts and events. She said they don’t need to cost anything. The free ones would be fine. you might want to check out activities at local churches. You may find several free Christmas concerts/pageants/activities put on by the churches’ congregations.

I’ll be delighted to scan your mom in the future if she wants me to.

Thanks for letting me know about your dad and how you gave your mom yellow roses. What a touching, incredible story

Cousin A.J.

/

Michelle from Cincinnati, Ohio, asked:

Hi Julie,

My cousin A.J. (who was like a big brother to me) died in June of this year. He was 46.

It was sudden. He fell down his basement stairs, suffered blunt force trauma to his head and died at the hospital.

His death was a shock to the whole family and to all of his friends.

I just wanted to know if he is watching over his kids and his mother and if he suffered since he wasn’t found until the next morning by his 14 year-old son.

Also, does he have any advice for me regarding my life?

Thanks.

Hi Michelle,

My condolences on the loss of your cousin.

When I first connected to you, A.J. was standing next to you on your right side.

He told me he blacked out which caused the fall down the basement steps. He also told me he wasn’t ever in pain because he was unconscious the whole time.

Interestingly enough, he said he died in the middle of the night. Since you mentioned he died the next morning at the hospital, I asked him for clarification.

A.J. then corrected himself and said his spirit evacuated his body in the middle of the night but didn’t leave until he was at the hospital. Remember, spirits are very literal.

Please go to the Twelve Phases of Transition graphics on my website askjulieryan.com to see how the spirit exits the body and is surrounded by angels and loved ones. And, you may want to share the graphics with A.J.’s and your families. These simple drawings normally provide a lot of comfort to those grieving the loss of a loved one.

Please know A.J.’s spirit is frequently around you and his family. Consider him a new heavenly advocate/spirit guide.

As for his advice … he wants you to stop smoking.

Hope this brings you some peace.

Husband Tom

/

Leona from Petaluma, CA, asked:

Hi Julie,

My husband (Tom) was diagnosed with COPD a few months ago. He has been in the VA Hospital in San Francisco every month since February, each time for about 5 days or so. This last time was different though, and is scaring both of us.  

He went in last Thursday with wheezing and coughing, and now it has changed to dizziness, light headedness, and he keeps falling and vomiting. It’s been a week since he’s been there and he’s getting worse.   

Tom has had numerous tests to figure out what’s going on. The neurologist has ruled out many things like stroke, etc. Is there anything you can see that might be causing all of this? Thank you so much for anything you might suggest.

Hi Leona,

I’m sorry Tom is having such a tough time.

In order to scan your husband, I connected to you and through you to Tom.

He is in Phase 2 of the Twelve Phases of Transition which means his spirit is out of his body. It’s attached to the top of his head in a bubble configuration (it looks like a cartoon caption) and the spirits of his deceased parents are at his feet. Please go to my website, askjulieryan.com, and click on the Twelve Phases of Transition tab to see a graphic of what I’m describing.

The good news is, he isn’t dying, he’s just scared. The temporary bad news is, I’m unable to scan him medically while his spirit is outside of his body. It’s as if he isn’t plugged in to an energy source.

For good measure, I asked Tom the three questions I always ask everyone who is experiencing the Twelve Phases of Transition and got these answers …

Are you ready to go? He said no.

Are you in pain? He said yes.

What do you need? He answered, for someone to figure out what the hell is happening to me.

Having said all that, although I’m unable to see what’s happening I’m getting his symptoms are being caused from a reaction to the combination of all his medications. I believe he is dramatically over medicated.

Please check back with me in a couple of days. By that time his spirit will hopefully be back in his body and I’ll be able to get a better picture of his medical condition.

Blessings,

Julie

Ricky & Ralphie

/

Corey from The Bronx, New York, asked:

Hi Julie,

I got two kittens about 12 years ago. I was looking for one cat but they were holding each other so tightly that I got them both. The Petco rescue person told me they were brothers.

Well, one of the most painful things I ever had to do was to have one of my cats (Ralphie) cremated last August.

He developed diabetes and doctors said he would have deteriorated and it would have been difficult to take care of him.

My question is about his brother Ricky who never showed any sadness about the event. He has not looked for his brother or anything.

I was just wondering what he understands about the situation?

Also, I wondered if Ralphie (the cat that passed) is still around and knows that he was loved dearly.

Thank you!!

Hi Corey,

What a great question.

The reason Ricky isn’t missing Ralphie is because Ralphie is still there, only now, he’s transitioned into spirit form.

Animals and especially small children (under the age of 4) are very intuitive. They can sense spirits, both human and animal, when we mortals are unable to. Cats in particular are known to be very psychic.

I’ve lost count of the number of times a cat owner has told me about a situation where all of a sudden their animal gets agitated without a viable cause. And then there are the stories about a cat slowly turning its head from side to side like it’s watching someone walk across the room when no one is visible. In that scenario, the cat is sensing a spirit.

Every pet owner acknowledges how much we learn from our animals. This is a case in point. When a loved one or a beloved pet dies, they remain with us, just in spirit form.

And, Ralphie did know he was deeply loved.

Thanks for your question.

Blessings,

Julie

Is There A Dog Heaven

/

Katy from Kansas City, KS, asked:

Hi Julie,

I’m fascinated by your 12 Phases of Transition. I found the concept and your graphics incredibly comforting when my father was making his transition last year.

I loved the idea of his parents and my mother coming to greet him and help him to the other side, and of his guardian angels carrying him off to Heaven.

Just last week, we lost our pet dog. It was an incredibly sad experience and I can’t stop thinking about him and missing him.

Does something similar happen when an animal dies? 

Do other animal spirits help a dying animal’s transition?

Do you have any idea what happens on the other side for pets?

Thanks for any illumination you can share about this.

Katy

 

Hi Katy,

What a great question, one I hadn’t ever been asked before.

When doing an instant replay on my dog’s death, (she was also named Katie), I saw her spirit bubble (which was attached to the top of her head), disengage from her body and be escorted by two dog spirits to Heaven. The dog spirits looked like they were the same mix of German Shepherd and Keeshond as my Katie.

At first I thought what I was seeing couldn’t be right, so I did additional instant replays on the dogs my family had when I was a child. They included a white German Shepherd, a Chow mix, and a Dachshund. Then I did an instant replay on your dog. In all cases, each dog’s spirit was escorted up and to the right (Heaven) by two spirits of dogs from the same breed. Our white German Shepherd Frosty, was escorted on one side by the spirit of a white German Shepherd and on the other side, by the spirit of a black and brown German Shepherd. Your dog was escorted by two Heinz 57-mix dog spirits and so on.

Since I wasn’t yet convinced this is what really happens, I asked my spirit guide Pope Clement VI for confirmation. He was laughing when he appeared and assured me what I was seeing was indeed what happens when a dog dies.

He went on to tell me upon their death, dogs are escorted by dog spirits through the barrier dividing our reality and Heaven. There are several similarities (12 Phases of Transition) to what happens to humans at the time of their deaths.

Clement told me dogs’ spirits exist in a sort of perpetual dog park where they run, play, and have unlimited fun. He also mentioned dogs’ spirits can be and usually are in more than one place at a time. So, they can be in Heaven AND be with us.

Please know your beloved late dog is with you in spirit and always will be.

Blessings,

Julie
