I do not recommend relying on divination to fix a death date. The question may be asked, but many factors influence it and readings may be inaccurate. With a seriously ill relative, cherishing available time and reducing regret matters more than repeatedly asking remaining years.

Dao Xuan described a client whose father had cancer and wanted a lifespan estimate for emotional preparation. That wish is understandable, but we are cautious with life and death. In faith, I believe conduct, good deeds, and affinities can change destiny. One reading cannot become an eternally fixed lifespan.

We also discussed cherishing doctors' advice about condition and time, rather than seeking certainty through readings everywhere. Focus on less suffering and regret and meaningful companionship through these days.

We have religiously helped some seriously ill people with presumed karmic creditors and causes and sought blessings, hoping their final passage would be easier. This is an intention and case experience of settling, not guaranteed life extension or a claim that every severe illness involves identical unseen problems.

When two clients' fathers died, I felt helpless. Earlier readings had warned of possible difficult periods, but the purpose was not to await proof of accuracy. While events remain unoccurred, I hope for effort and change. I would rather be called inaccurate if people lived safely. Speak wishes and necessary matters while conversation and time remain, rather than make a reading an unchangeable death date.
