Open Question: Where can I get a life insurance policy for a parent with heart problems?

I know of one coworker who was able to do this but that agent has retired and a church member who did the same but apparently moved to CA when they got the check(s). We lost contact about 2 years ago. We're in Virginia and my mom had a heart attack and is 58, nonsmoker, etc. The problem is that the places I've called don't sell policies for this type of person or don't broker for the companies that do. I've just started researching it online and by using the yellow pages but have apparently been calling all the wrong places and need some advice to point me in the right direction. I have been through the expenses of death with my father and cannot bear to go through this four and five figure expense unprepared again. Thanks to all for your time reading but please do not comment or answer this question if you think this type of policy doesn't exist or have no personal experience with life insurance through family or by working as a life insurance agent. Company names, insurance agent contact info, anything of the sort is greatly appreciated.
