Twelve Phases of Transition

Lost My Baby

/

Amber from Denver, CO, asked:

Hi Julie,

My son passed away not long after I was hit by a semi-truck. He was a full-term fetus. My placenta abrupted so the umbilical cord was starving him.

Afterwards, the doctors said they thought I was further along in my pregnancy which meant I should have been watched more carefully and been induced.

I was in an abusive relationship and my husband abandoned me after not showing up for my son’s delivery. He is convinced it was my fault and I wonder if I could have done better.  I’m having a hard time not blaming myself. 

Am I the reason he isn’t here? Is my baby with my deceased grandmother? Why did this happen?

Thanks.

Amber

Hi Amber,

I am so sorry to hear about you losing your baby. I can’t even imagine the pain you have experienced in dealing with this tragedy.

The Cleveland Clinic says, “Placental abruption is the premature separation (abruption) of the placenta from the uterus before childbirth.” The Clinic goes on to say, “Placental abruption can be life-threatening to the baby and sometimes to the mother. It can lead to premature birth, low birth weight, blood loss in the mother, and in rare cases, it can cause the baby’s death.”

First and foremost, yes, your baby son’s spirit is with your grandmother’s spirit and they’re both around you all the time.

Second and just as important, we all (even fetuses) decide when, where, how and who’s with us when we pass. We have no control of when or how someone else dies. All funeral directors have many stories about families who held a vigil with their loved one as they lay dying only to have the person pass while they were left alone for a few minutes.

You ask why this happened. The best explanation I can give you is because your son’s spirit chose to experience what it was like to die right before he was to be born. Although it’s hard for us to wrap our human minds around that concept, I’ve heard it countless times.

Since we live many lives, perhaps your son was a parent, grandparent, sibling, etc. who lost a full-term baby in a past life. And perhaps his spirit chose this lifetime to gain perspective from what it was like to be the baby who wasn’t born.

Please know your baby son was surrounded by angels and the spirits of deceased loved ones when he died. More information about what happens as we pass can be found in my book Angelic Attendants: What Really Happens As We Transition From This Life Into The Next.

I hope you find some comfort in my responses to your questions.

Sending big hugs your way.

Phase of Transition

1 Comment / /

Kris from Lincoln, MA, asked:

Hi Julie,

My father Bill is in late stage Alzheimer’s in Austin, Texas.  

I am surprised that he is still with us and suspect he is holding on for some reason. 

What stage is he in, and how might I help him in his transition?

Thanks,

Kris

Hi Kris,

So sorry to hear about your dad.

In order to get some information for you, I first energetically connected to you in Massachusetts and from you to your dad in Texas. He is currently in Phase 7 of the Twelve Phases of Transition.

This means his spirit is out of his body and is attached to the top of his head. It looks like the bubble you’d see in a cartoon containing the character’s words or thoughts. I call this the spirit bubble.

Your dad is surrounded by angels and the spirits of deceased loved ones, including his parents and deceased pets, and there is an angel on either side of his spirit bubble.

I asked Bill the three questions I always ask a dying person …

– Are you ready to go? He said yes.

– Are you in pain? He said no.

– What do you need? He said his family.

When I asked if he needed his family with him, he said no, he just wanted to know they would be waiting for him when he got to Heaven. I assured him they would.

You can determine where he is in the transition process by asking (either aloud or in your head) what phase of transition your dad is in. The answer will immediately come to you and will feel like your thought. Remember, spirit communicates telepathically.

Once the phase is identified, refer to the chart on my website for an image of the configuration of angels and spirits. By using this method, you can get an idea of how close to dying he is by how quickly he’s advancing through the phases.

You can also ask the three questions mentioned above (either aloud or in your head) and receive answers telepathically. They’ll be the ones that immediately come into your head within a second. If you think about an answer for longer than a couple of seconds, that’ll be your brain answering you.

For more detailed information on what happens as we transition, please get a copy of my book Angelic Attendants: What Really Happens As We Transition From This Life Into The Next.

Sending big hugs to you and your family.

Dog Attendants

Lisa from Arlington, TX, asked:

Hi Julie,

I read your book and have gifted others with copies. I also listen to your podcasts at work and enjoy them very much!

I had a thought the other day – does the same process you describe in your book happen for animals?

For example, will a dog’s maternal and paternal sides come together and all of its brothers and sisters too at their time of death? My guess is yes and all humans associated with that dog will also be present.

Are there special angels for animals that come set up the portal you describe? Does this happen for all animals?

I’m very interested to know this. After all, I’m one of those crazy dog fanatics.

Love from Texas!

Lisa

Hi Lisa,

Thanks for your question and kind comments about my book Angelic Attendants: What Really Happens As We Transition From This Life Into The Next and podcast.

Your question is one I have been asked multiple times over the years and it makes me think of the 1989 animated musical All Dogs Go To Heaven starring late actors Burt Reynolds, Dom DeLuise and Charles Nelson Reilly along with Loni Anderson and others. The movie centers around a deceased dog who comes back from Heaven to help his canine friends learn kindness, friendship and love.

Based on my experience, the Twelve Phases of Transition I describe in Angelic Attendants where we’re surrounded by angels and deceased loved ones and friends as we’re dying only partially applies to dogs and all animals.

Over the years, I’ve scanned many dogs (and other animals) in their final stages of life. In each instance, I’ve seen the animal’s spirit separate from its body and attach itself to the top of the animal’s head before it dies. It does look like the human equivalent of what I call the “spirit bubble” in the Twelve Phases of Transition.

That however, is where the similarities end. I haven’t ever seen angels or the spirits of deceased animals surround a dying animal. Now, I’m not saying it can’t happen, I’m just saying I haven’t ever seen it and “get” it doesn’t happen.

Conversely, as you read in Angelic Attendants, I always see the spirits of deceased pets surround people as they’re dying. Everything from household species like dogs, cats and birds to exotic and farm animals’ spirits can be present and are part of what I call the “Welcome To Heaven Committee”.

Maybe unlike humans, dogs don’t need support when transitioning. Perhaps, like the movie title implies, since All Dogs Go To Heaven, dogs and animals instinctively know there isn’t anything to fear.

By the way, all people go to Heaven too!

A Son’s Passing

2 Comments / /

Sarah from Louisville, KY, asked:

Hi Julie,

My son passed away from autoerotic asphyxiation almost 10 months ago. My question is this … did he die this way by accident, and was this his or our soul plan? I’m struggling to get my mind around that, even though I’m a believer in soul plans. 

I’ve also had the thought that I helped to manifest his passing.

I didn’t want him to die, but I did want relief from the struggles in our relationship. He was 16. I hope he’s okay. I was told he was confused that he died and didn’t accept it right away.

I’m functioning pretty well only because I believe intellectually that he transitioned and is still with me. I want so badly to have a visit from him. I may have had a few spirit winks from him, but not for a while now.

Thank you for any advice or message you can give me!

Sarah

Hi Sarah,

My condolences on the passing of your son. I can’t even imagine what you’ve been going through.

In order to get some information for you, I first energetically connected to you and from you to your son. He was standing next to you at your right shoulder.

Your son told me his death was an accident and that it was his soul’s plan.

We all decide when, where, how and who’s with us when we die. I don’t believe it’s a preordained plan, rather, it’s a decision our soul makes about how to exit this lifetime. Funeral directors have countless stories about loved ones waiting to die until someone sitting with them leaves the room to get a cup of coffee.

Please know, we cannot create in someone else’s reality, only in our own. You didn’t cause him to manifest his death, you don’t have the ability to do that to anyone but yourself.

Your son also told me he is around you all the time. You can summon him just by thinking of him. Likewise, when he’s close by, you’re likely to think of him. It works both ways.

If you want to communicate with him, just say something to him either aloud or in your head. His response will come as a thought you think. It’ll happen instantly. The more you practice, the better you’ll get at communicating with him.

Lastly, please consider reading my book Angelic Attendants: What Really Happens As We Transition From This Life Into The Next. I believe it will inform you about how he was surrounded by angels and deceased loved ones at the time of his passing (and still is) and I believe you’ll find the stories about families with whom I’ve worked comforting.

By the way, scientific research has corroborated what I discuss in my book … how we’re surrounded by angels and deceased loved ones and pets. It seems many people are experiencing what I call the “Twelve Phases of Transition”.

Hope this gives you some peace. Sending big hugs your way!

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.

Distant Loved One

Claire from Sydney, Australia, asked:

Hi Julie,

My father-in-law is in palliative care suffering from multiple medical issues including liver cirrhosis, heart disease, and other complications. We have been told they cannot do a scheduled heart operation because it’s too dangerous.

My family and I live in Australia and my father-in-law resides in the UK which makes the situation difficult because we’re so far away.

He has been through numerous medical procedures, spent many months in the hospital, and we have all been on a roller coaster ride for some time now. Six months ago, we were told by his doctors we should go home to the UK to see him because his liver was failing.  

After learning this news, my husband immediately flew home. Once he arrived, my father-in-law suffered numerous heart attacks while waiting for a new procedure which now can’t be done due to complications.

We would love some advice.

Thanks,

Claire

Hi Claire,

My goodness, I can only imagine what your family is going through with your father-in-law’s health challenges. And to be so far away makes this situation really tough.

In order to get some information for you, I first energetically connected to you in Australia and from you to your father-in-law in the UK.

When I got him on my radar, I could see he is in Phase 7 of the Twelve Phases of Transition. This means his spirit has separated from his body and is attached to the top of his head. It looks like the bubble you see in a cartoon where a character’s thoughts or words are shown. His parents’ spirits are at his feet and anchor a horseshoe of angels. In addition, many other spirits are present. The group is comprised of deceased loved ones and pets. It’s truly a glorious sight.

Each of us goes through the Twelve Phases of Transition as we’re dying. It can happen in an instant like in a homicide or suicide, or it can evolve over days, weeks, even months for a person to experience all of the phases. Regardless of how long it takes, it’s important to remember that everyone goes to Heaven.

Your father-in-law telepathically told me he is ready to go, is in pain, and just wants his family around him.

If some of you are unable to physically be there, you might want to connect with him through Skype or FaceTime. That way, you can see him and he can see you, it’ll just be online. (If needed, perhaps a nurse or caregiver can assist.) I find this option works great for families with distant relatives who are dying.

Please consider reading my book Angelic Attendants: What Really Happens As We Transition From This Life Into The Next. It’s available in paperback, digital, and audiobook formats and I believe it will both inform and comfort you and your family.

Lastly, please know we all decide where, when, and with whom we are when we transition so regardless of who’s with your father-in-law when he dies, it’ll be his choice. Hope that fact alone brings you some peace.

Angelic Attendants

Colleen from Durbin, South Africa, asked:

Hi Julie,

Thank you so much for your continued efforts for my dying mother-in-law Mel and for our family.

I’ve just about finished your book Angelic Attendants and have sent my recommendation far and wide. It’s incredible. Truly!

My 9 year-old son Jonno was asking if his grandmother’s spirit-self knows the big picture of her transitioning, while her conscious earth mind is trapped in her body and is scared?

He also wanted to know, why does the spirit need comfort on the death process and the confirmation of the destination to Heaven and how does it calm and comfort the earth mind when you take the “Walk To Heaven” with dying people? 

Thanks.

Hi Colleen,

What a great question, especially from a kid.

Our spirits do know the details about us being eternal. It’s the human mind that feels and processes the fear associated with dying.

Many of us have been taught about Heaven and likewise, about a potential fire pit of eternal damnation and how we can end up in either place. No wonder we’re scared!

It has been my experience with countless families and their dying loved ones for more than 25 years, that we all go to Heaven. We’re surrounded by angels and deceased loved ones as we’re dying and then, when we’re ready to transition, angels escort us, all of us, to Heaven.

As with most things, when we can see something for ourselves, we’re more apt to believe it. And, as we’ve become more well-educated, our society has become very proof-oriented. We’re less likely to believe something unless we can witness it ourselves or see that it has been scientifically proven.

The same goes with the dying process. Although our spirits remember everything from past lives, filters are put in place by the age of about 6, that prevent most people (unless they’re hypnotized or do a past life scan with me) from remembering the details. That’s so we can experience what we intended in this lifetime without conscious interference from past ones.

When I do the “Walk To Heaven” exercise with dying people, their human mind experiences what will happen when they die. They see their deceased loved ones waiting for them eager to welcome them to Heaven, and their fear of death dissipates. At that point, many people are then ready and eager to transition.

Hope this explanation answers Jonno’s insightful question.

My Dad’s Transition

/

Susan from St. George, UT, asked:

Hi Julie,

I recently had a private reading with you – thank you. It was powerful and I am still processing the information.

I listen to your weekly show and didn’t have a question until after we hung up! Isn’t that the way it goes sometimes?

My dad’s name is Charles. He is 89 years old and has a weakened heart from heart disease and vascular dementia.

He tells me he continues to feel weaker despite good nutrition and using his stationary bike daily. We go to church every Sunday together which is when he confides in me. He is increasingly disturbed by the advancement of his dementia and the weakness in his legs. He tells me he is ready to go.

Would you please take a look at him and see if he is in Transition and if so at what stage? He has always been one to see through the veil and see folks around him. Lately it is happening more often. Recently a deceased family member was present in the room.

Thank you for the blessing that you are to all of us!

Susan

Hi Susan,

Thanks for your question and kind words. It sounds like you’re the blessing … to your dad and others.

In order to get some information for you, I first energetically connected to you and from you to your dad Charles.

He is in Phase 9 of the Twelve Phases of Transition. That means his spirit is out of his body and attached to the top of his head. It looks like a bubble, the kind you see in a cartoon caption (where the character’s words or thoughts are shown).

Your dad’s parents’ spirits are at his feet and anchor a row of angels that extends out in both directions. In addition, there are many spirits (deceased loved ones and friends) in his room. They are joined by the spirits of several pets your dad has had throughout his lifetime. All of these angels and spirits comprise what I call the “Welcome To Heaven” committee. They will continue to grow in numbers as your dad gets closer to dying.

When I asked your dad if he was ready to go, he replied, “Yes”. When I asked him if he was in pain, he said, “No”. And lastly, when I asked him what he needed, he said, “My toothbrush and toothpicks”! That response made me laugh because it was simple and direct, and because it was one I hadn’t ever heard before.

For more information about what you can expect as you go through the dying process with your dad and eventually other loved ones, please read 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 too.

Please remember one thing as you spend this time with your dad. Look for the little miracles along the way. They’ll be plentiful and will help sustain you as you support your dad and other family members.

My Father In Japan

1 Comment / /

Ayumi from Huntington Beach, CA, asked:

Hi Julie,

My father had an operation to remove the cancer in his liver three years ago, but it reappeared again. 

After consulting with a few doctors, due to his condition and age, his treatment won’t include any surgical intervention or medication. According to one of the doctors, his prognosis is a year.

My dad is currently living in Japan and I am thousands of miles away.

I’m planning to visit him soon and wonder if he is experiencing any of the 12 phases of transition?

My mother unexpectedly made her transition a few years ago, and I could not be there to say goodbye. I would like to make sure to spend some time with my father before it’s too late.

Could you tell me what’s going on with him? Any information is appreciated.

Thank you.

Hi Ayumi,

Sorry to hear about your dad. Knowing a loved one is dying is always hard and especially rough when you’re so far away.

In order to get some information for you, I energetically connected to you in California and from you to your father in Japan.

He is in Phase 9 of the Twelve Phases of Transition. That means his spirit is out of his body and attached to the top of his head. It looks like a cartoon caption bubble (where thoughts and words are shown). There are two angels on either side of his “spirit bubble”. Your dad’s parents’ spirits are at his feet and anchor a line of large guardian angels. In addition, spirits of many family members and friends are also present as is your mother’s spirit. All of these spirits comprise what I call the “Welcome To Heaven Committee”. It’s a glorious sight!

When I ask if it’s in your best interest to go to Japan and spend time with your father, I “get” a YES.

Based on what I’m “seeing” (in my mind’s eye), I suggest you go as soon as possible.

You might want to consider getting a copy of my book Angelic Attendants: What Really Happens As We Transition From This Life Into The Next to read or listen to on the plane. It will give you lots of information about what is happening with your dad and comfort you at the same time.

Lastly, as you go through this process, focus on all the little miracles that are happening along the way. They’ll be plentiful.

Hope this information helps. Sending hugs to you and your family!
