    As a child of an alcoholic parent . . .

    . . . I understand this pain. My mother died addicted to pain meds after several years of one broken bone after another, etc. She also smoked herself to death.

    Upon her death at home with hospic, I, being a Spiritualist minister--we are psychics & mediums--and as a heretitary Native American healer, performed an exorcism over my mother's body. I commanded like with all my emotional power that she would be freed from the energy patterns that possessed her so through her life time. The events that followed explained that I succeeded.

    The power of prayer for yourself and others is very effective no matter what religion you are. Or, if you have none, too, and just believe in a generic cosmic force that offers a place of peace--somewhere we all need to go from time to time.

    Rev.
