A viewer asks: “My father had a stroke 2 years ago, and has declined since then. He recently went to the hospital as he took a high dose of Advil and his medication baclofen and felt very sick. He’s a bit better but has chronic pain and is very thin and weak but he is still with us and has stopped taking Advil now. In the hospital he told us he saw angels. We think God gave him visions and it might be seeds of healing. Now he’s home and worried about falling as he’s so weak. He walks with our guidance. We are getting a nurse to help him and started cannabis oil for him. Was Advil the cause of his weight loss and will cannabis oil help? And is his soul preparing for transition or is healing possible?”

Your dear father has, largely, a karmic malady originating in past trauma, as is true of most illness. The drug exposure was toxic to his system and a factor in his recent symptoms but is not the whole story. He saw angels as a prelude to his transition and this is a common experience for those getting ready to pass. It is one of the divine blessings to help people who are facing the end stage of their life better cope and to allow them a period of time to work through inner conflicts if possible, and let things go that might otherwise impede a smooth transition and make things complicated and difficult. The cannabis oil will only help and not be harmful. Attempts at healing are always a race against time and there will always be a limit to how prolonged the life can be. The choice to leave, ultimately, belongs with each individual, usually governed by the higher self. So in that way, it is in divine hands more than human. It is natural for loved ones to do all they can to help someone keep going, but just know, at some point he will need to leave and attempts to hold him back will just complicate things and ultimately fail. We view human death as a positive event and not a negative one. This is hard for you to understand, being human and shaped by your culture to fear death greatly. That being so, it is commonplace for people wanting to transition to be hindered by well-meaning loved ones who simply cannot face their fears and the growing grief in contemplating the loss of their loved one, and that becomes a liability and harmful to the one who needs to transition. This is a time to be loving and nurturing so he feels supported and knows he has your blessings and that is a wonderful gift to offer him.
