Julie Ryan

Stuck In The Middle

Miyoshi from Atlanta, GA, asked:

Hi Julie, 

I do hope all is well with you. I have an odd request and kind of a long one.

I have an aunt who has been in the hospital since before Father’s Day and has recently been placed on hospice. (By the way, I am the one communicating with hospice to try to help my uncle understand what’s going on.)

My aunt was originally scheduled to come home last Friday to be cared for there and my family requested a feeding tube for her. The feeding tube was never inserted because, according to the case manager, her electrolytes were too low. Also she was taken off a ventilator a couple weeks ago and has continued to breathe on her own. My family thinks the hospital is not doing enough to help her.

I am trying to communicate with everyone to keep them in the loop about what’s going on. It’s challenging because I’m not there with my aunt and I feel stuck in the middle.

Please help! Can you scan her and give me an idea of where she is? Also, can you tell me what’s going on with her and what she is requesting from us?

Thank you for all you do!!!

Much love, Miyoshi

Hi Miyoshi,

Your aunt and entire family are so fortunate to have you helping them through this heart wrenching situation.

In order to check on your aunt, I first energetically connected to you and then from you to her. She is in Phase 9 of the Twelve Phases of Transition. This means your aunt is surrounded by angels, deceased family members and pets. Her spirit is out of her body and is attached to the top of her head in what looks like a cartoon caption bubble. An additional angel is on either side of her spirit bubble.

Your aunt told me she is ready to go, isn’t in pain and just wants her family around her.

End-of-life situations are always hard, especially if there is conflict about what the patient’s wishes are and who in the family is aware of those wishes. For that reason, I highly recommend Conscious Passage by Gay Lyn Birkholz, a former professor of medical ethics. It’s a short, easy-to-read book that guides one through the process of deciding what if any medical intervention is desired when they can’t make medical decisions for themselves. Communicating these wishes helps ensure the proper care is administered and keeps families from being torn apart when making life and death medical choices for a loved one.

Hope this information helps to clarify where your aunt is on her journey to Heaven.

Sending lots of hugs your way!
