Animals love us unconditionally. This love has no limits. Since there is often fear, confusion, and sadness surrounding our pets’ passing, I recently asked the Animal Kingdom about death and dying. Below is the message that the animals shared with me.
On Saturday, I spoke at Bideawee’s Pet Memorial Day Event. The Animals dictated a message for those attending the service and asked me to also share it with you, in honor of National Pet Memorial Day. I think of it as a “Love Letter” from Your Pets who have passed over.
My beloved cat, Frankie, passed over several months ago. While I felt sad at the time and continued to grieve his loss, I was comforted that he passed peacefully at home surrounded by the beings that he loved most. I was not ready to place his photo on my dresser beside the pictures of pets who previously passed on, yet it felt like his death as his life, unfolded just as it was meant to. He had a long full life and had recovered from numerous illnesses along the way. One time in particular, he literally died and came back to life in my arms.
I wrote the original version of this article more than ten years ago, in memory of my beloved dog Misty. Since Misty was my inspiration for learning about holistic health, healing and spirituality, it feels right for me to share it with you in my first Healing With Animals blog post.
