Transitions,

Grief & Loss

Support for an Animal’s Transition

At this sensitive time, we can draw closer & deepen our connections,

cherishing our bonds as we experience the sacred movement of body into spirit.

 
 

When our animals are preparing to pass over, we want to know how they feel & what they need. We also hope they understand how deeply they are loved. A communication session can help us connect with our animals at this time. If your animal has already passed on, we can still gently connect in spirit. Having shared a quiet hello & gained a deeper understanding of your bond, you can both move forward with a greater sense of peace.

While we try to prepare our animals for their transitions, we need to prepare ourselves, too. You can receive help before or after your animal’s passing, in the form of healings, grief assistance or the commemoration of your animal companion’s life.

Asking About the Journey

Sometimes, we are not sure how our animals feel or if they are preparing to pass on. To help them feel as comfortable as possible, it helps to know how they perceive their health. We may also want to ask what their expectations & needs are, for the coming months or years.

To communicate about a possible transition, we can focus on a variety of topics. For instance, we can ask our animals if they wish for extended hospice care, how long they want to remain with us & how they wish to transition. Other animals have specific wishes as to where they will be buried or have their ashes lain.

Animals have their own ideas to introduce as well. Apart from discussing health concerns, some want to share feelings about their homes & families. Considering the life you shared, some discuss the work you did together as a team. Many want to give encouragement & advice, too, providing the special wisdom they have shared over the course of your time together. If aware that they will be passing over, some also share their thoughts & feelings about this coming journey.

Energy Healing for Transitions

An animal who is preparing to pass over can find great relief from an energy healing. On a physical level, a healing can ease an animal’s pain while it strengthens the body & brain. From the cells to the organs, the blood to the nervous system, energy healings assist the body in stabilizing & refreshing itself.

Energy healings also help restore our animals’ spirits. They can experience a greater sense of peace—emotions can settle, thoughts align & trauma subside. Feeling emotionally renewed, our animals can move forward holding a calm, centered perspective. They can connect with us more easily as well.

Beyond this, energy healings help our animals to pass over more easily. Whether an animal is preparing to pass or has recently transitioned, a healing can make this process smoother & more grounded. A healing can focus on the parts of the energy body that activate as an animal crosses over—this helps our animals to transition with their spiritual energy & lessons from this lifetime intact. With their fields replenished & their energetic boundaries strengthened, they can navigate “the great beyond” with awareness, inspiration & strength.

Animals in Spirit

We sometimes wonder how our animals are doing once they leave us & the earthly plane. We may want to tell them how grateful we are to have known them.

We may also hope to resolve any questions or concerns that we’ve been carrying about the time that we spent together. For instance, after an animal passes, it is common for guardians to worry that they did something wrong or could have done more. By communicating with our animals in spirit, we can find out how they perceive their time with us. Renewed, we can release worry & guilt by focusing on the love we shared.

Some animals hope to share their spiritual understandings, too. For instance, they often describe the afterlife, discuss other lifetimes that they spent with you or speak about the Earth’s needs from a spiritual perspective. Animals also share their ideas about reincarnating, perhaps to be with you again.


In some cases, our animals have passed on unexpectedly, & we hope for a chance to say goodbye. A communication session lets you assure your animal of your love & hear what your animal wishes to express. With your connection restored & your hearts comforted, you can both feel a sense of renewal as you move forward.

Beyond this, some recently deceased animals do not understand what has happened, particularly if they died unexpectedly. A gentle communication can help them orient to their new circumstances. Knowing that you are providing them with support, they can feel more comfortable saying farewell & moving forward.

An energy healing can also be shared at this time—this helps to clear trauma & shock from an animal’s field, which assists them in passing over. As healing light flows through the part of the energy body that is active after death, the animal can regain a sense of strength. Able to orient more easily to the planes of the afterlife, they can continue their transition with a deeper understanding of what has happened & an enhanced ability to move through these planes.

Receiving Support for Yourself

On the Threshold

As caregivers, we need time to focus on ourselves. Sometimes, we dismiss our own needs in order to provide devoted care to others. We do not always know how to process our feelings as our animals transition, either. Beyond this, we may not know who to speak to about our feelings.

In a personal session, you can learn more about how to support yourself. Anticipatory grief can be intense, so after sharing your concerns & needs, you can learn soothing meditative techniques designed specifically for animal guardians. You will also receive downloadable MP3s of these guided meditations, with handouts on self-care.

In a personal session, you can also receive a clairvoyant reading. By considering the colors, symbols & pictures in your field, you can gain a deeper understanding of how you are changing & what you need. For instance, the heart chakra may look for solace & support—it can receive healing & encouragement as it learns how to hold the different emotions you experience. Your animal often comes by to speak at this time, too, so you may receive a communication about the depth & meaning of your bond.

You can also receive a replenishing energy healing. Healings help calm our emotions & ease our sense of grief or shock. Feeling renewed, we can be more fully present, giving ourselves & our animals the attention we both deserve.


Support as You Grieve a Loss

After our animal companions pass on, we don’t always know how to work through the different emotions we experience. Carrying this loss in silence can be intense, too, yet we may be uncertain how to share our feelings.

At this time, it is common to feel different emotions, such as confusion, guilt & loss. During a personal session, we can discuss how to move through your grief in a structured, creative way. You can share your feelings & identify what you need help with, in a nonjudgmental setting focused on your personal comfort & healing. Following your session, you can receive downloadable MP3s of guided meditations that gently soothe heart & spirit, with handouts on self-care.

A reading can also be helpful at this time. By looking at your field clairvoyantly, we can identify where you may need attention energetically or emotionally. We can observe which chakras need help carrying your grief or see where your aura needs to be replenished, so you have a healthy buffer from outside concerns at this sensitive time. As you explore & learn during a reading, your emotions can integrate & heal.

An energy healing also provides a unique level of support. Creating a space for your spirit & heart to connect, a healing can help you recover from grief & shock in a gentle, undemanding way. Flower essences & gemstones can be integrated into a healing session, too—as they help you to release & understand your grief, you can move back into your life with a renewed sense of strength.


You can also receive support as you plan a ceremony or memorial to honor your animal’s life. In a personal session or through emails, you can receive ideas & support about creating a memorial. If desired, this work can culminate in a ceremony or gathering, held online or in-person. You can receive assistance in organizing & leading a ceremony or in sharing your memorial with others.

Gemstones & Flower Essences

Recommendations for flower essences & gemstones are shared as part of a session, at no additional cost. Using them, you can ground your relationship in the healing support that nature provides. These healing modalities can be used for yourself, your animal or your home.

Healing For Animal Guardians

Our animals often want us to focus on self-healing or on making a change in our lives. They sometimes assert that their health, emotional balance or behavior have been affected by our inner states. Picking up on what we handle related to work, finances, health & relationships, our animals can find it difficult to release our energy—we help them by finding inner balance ourselves.

Space Clearings for Homes, Stables & Vehicles

An energy clearing for a home, stable or vehicle can be arranged if we find that your animal's space carries charged, stagnant or otherwise imbalanced energy. Space clearings restore balance to an animal's home or travel space—this allows your animal to focus on personal growth & a healthy bond with you.
