Aging Animals, Goodbyes, and Grief
Love, love, love, says Percy.
And hurry as fast as you can
along the shining beach, or the rubble, or the dust.
Then, go to sleep.
Give up your body heat, your beating heart.
Then, trust.
― Mary Oliver

May your heart be at peace and may you always sense your beloveds with you.
Just Out of Our AwarenessThis is where our beloveds are.
The ones that passed away. The ones who left without a trace. The ones who left suddenly, tragically, or peacefully. The ones who “left us behind.” The ones who we loved more than anything. The ones who we will always love. The ones who we miss. The ones to whom we said our last goodbye. The ones who love us unconditionally. They are here with us, just out of our awareness ...

There Is No DeathDeath is not a subject that many people want to discuss or even think about, especially when it revolves around the death of a beloved animal. However, as tough as this subject may be, I believe that if we allow ourselves to see it differently, we can find peace and comfort in it. We may even come to see it as a gift. Read more here.

Say no goodbyes to those we love,
Though they have passed from view.
Our mortal eyes seem not to see
The truth that our hearts do.
Love is of the spirit.
It exists beyond these shores.
And love still flows between us,
Now and forever more.

One of the most difficult challenges in this life is saying goodbye to a beloved animal companion. I have been there countless times. From endangered species that I cared for in captivity to a cherished family companion animal, I have said more goodbyes than I care to count.
But goodbye is not forever.
In our Cherokee language, there is no actual word for "goodbye"; this word is too final. We say "Stiyu", which means "Be strong", instead of Goodbye.
Our Cherokee heritage teaches there is no death; only a door to another realm. a new beginning. a new chapter. a new world.Here they no longer know fear, scarcity, pain, or suffering. They are truly at peace and they want this for us, too. Who our animal companions were in their physical body while they were here with us, is only a glimpse of Who they Are after they transition.
To an animal, death is not a word. It is unreal. It is an illusion. To animals, there is no death; there is only an awakening. There is only a returning home.
Our animal companions understand that death is nothing to fear. They know that death is a release. It is a return to their true Home. "Death" is freedom. Release. Expansion. It is all that their physical world withheld from them. It IS the only reality that gives them Life. It is a celebration of the soul.

Our Beloveds are … Always.
Thankfully, after much suffering, I finally learned this. And through the countless In-Spirit readings I’ve provided for families who’ve said goodbye to their beloved, I’m humbled and grateful for what I discover. I Am in awe.
The peace, joy and freedom they are enveloped in, is astonishing; regardless of how their earthly vessel was laid aside.
In the animal & elemental kingdom, “death” is not a word. It is unreal. It is an illusion. To these highly evolved beings, there is no death; there is only an awakening. There is only a returning Home.
