Jeanne, like you I’ve learned to respect the feeling certain patients get when they feel their time here is up. I take those kinds of intuitions very seriously.
thanks for your incisive comments –

I don’t know about fortune tellers, and really if there are any out there, I only need six little numbers. In no particular order….

I have been in this field long enough to take heed if a patient mentions anything that hints at their “knowing” of their time left. They say it in many different ways. But I always listen, they know way before we do. .It is up to us to take advantage of that window of opportunity to help them get their wishes and tasks completed.

Well well well! Instead of an advice column on death and dying, you have become a platform for self-promoting fortune tellers and other nonsense!

Phil’s sister, like the cat Oscar and like me, is one of those creatures who are in touch with the universe and the messages it sends them about life and death. Sometimes the knowledge this brings is too painful to bear. At other times it can be used for incredible healing.
