Death
April 3, 2015
Death. We can’t get away from it. It is a part of life. Some of my sessions involve working with pet owners whose pets have died. I had one client contact me and ask me if I could connect with her horse that had died two weeks prior to her session. The horse contacted me! I was driving to pick my son up at my sister’s house and on the way I saw in my third eye a white horse galloping with a colt alongside her. This client’s horse wanted to show me that we would be talking. During our text session her horse told her everything that she wanted to know. This is not a usual session for me. I generally deal with live animals but hey if an animal wants to talk to their human I seem to be a channel for that too.
One of my clients had a cat that was quite old. The cat’s companion, another cat had died. My client wanted to know how the living cat was doing. He was okay but was in a bit of pain. We talked and as we talked her cat revealed more and more about how he was feeling. He also let me explain to his owner what he wanted her to do with his body when he passed. He said that he wanted his remains to be placed on her land. She lives on a beautiful acreage with rolling hills and beautiful green fields. He loved it there and wanted her to honor him by placing him on the land that they both loved so much.
Animals do not view death like humans view it. Animals understand and accept that death is a part of life. I used to be very detached when it came to the death of people I knew until someone I loved very deeply died. Then I understood the anguish people have when it comes to loved ones dying. I must state though when two of my brood mares died it felt like a part of me died when they did. They were both so beautiful they took your breath away when you watched them move. I am not going to lie and say that I am getting better at accepting death. I understand that it is a part of life but still when our beloved people and animals pass a part of us dies with them. Being left behind is very difficult. Often we cannot make sense of our loved ones leaving us but it happens.
When my chocolate lab died in the spring of 2013 and my husband died just months after I knew that my dog Tobie had died to prepare me for my husband’s death. This may sound strange to some of you reading this but Tobie’s death hit me so hard. He was my best friend. We walked almost every day. He was my constant companion. Then when my husband died in June of that year it felt like I died with him although I did not. I was left behind to take care of our son. I could feel Tobie’s presence in our house after he died and I too felt Ralph around me for months after he’d died too. I could see Ralph's presence although most people laughed at me because they thought I was imaging it. We had such a strong bond. I knew he wanted me to know that he would still be around me even though he had crossed over to the other side. Both of these beloved friends of mine wanted me to know that our spirit never dies. It lives on. Sadly though it does not live on physically with us. I know too that my mares often breathe softly on my neck telling me that they miss me too. I loved them so much. Love is painful and is not always easy. We love. Our loved ones die and then we love again. It’s a cycle filled with joy and pain. I don’t know if it ever gets any easier. It’s just the way it is.
