I am sorry you've had these physical issues with the heart and bone.

I have only heard that those who has some sort of illness are more close to the spiritual realm, those few told me, did not mean they were dying (they were not).

Too like you say now you have more time and they will feel you do have more time to see, experience them, or at least that is what I think could be going on.

I've always felt that even if low level energies are at play, the good side is too present.
