Are You Wondering How to Communicate with Dead Pets? Many of my clients face similar difficulties when their beloved companion dies; as such, these helpful tips from my experience as an animal communicator may come in handy for you as well.
How to Communicate with Dead Pets: Understanding Their Perspectives
First of all, animals view death differently than humans do; humans often regard death as the end, while for them death can be seen as a transition into another phase in their existence. Therefore it can be normal for us to wonder about communicating with dead pets after they have crossed over; worries that your beloved companion in heaven might be confused, scared or lonely needless worry as this couldn’t be further from reality!
Although animals do not experience fear or confusion when crossing over, they do require some time to acclimate themselves back into being without bodies – I refer to this period of re-adjustment as Animal Spirit School.
Although your pet would likely like to provide signs and messages immediately, they often need time and space to adjust. While your deceased companion is attending Animal Spirit School, give yourself time to mourn without stressing over whether they will come home again.
Your Pets Know How Much You Love Them
A common question I receive after someone’s cat or dog has passed is “Does she know how much I love her?” As caring humans who grieve the loss of an animal companion, our thoughts often drift toward what could have been. These “I wish I’d…” might include taking them for more walks or giving better food, or making sure she knew I loved her as much as I did – my ultimate wish would be for someone to have really made sure she knew she was loved more by us humans than before she passed.
Animals operate differently than people; rather than judge each other based on our actions, animals have an intuitive connection with us at our Soul Level – tapping into our emotions and becoming more than aware of our physical actions; knowing more than our intentions or deepest thoughts! No animal has ever told me they didn’t know their human loved them! In fact, most usually say something along these lines to me – like “Yes! I definitely know! She told me every morning!”
Grief and Misunderstanding in Pet Loss
When someone from our human families dies, there are numerous resources for support available – counselors, self help groups and books are often there for us when grieving a pet’s loss; unfortunately however, our human families often struggle with understanding emotions associated with pet deaths: how often have you heard “It was only a cat!” It makes grieving even harder.
Your animal who has passed on would want you to find people who understand your sorrow. There’s no point trying to bury those feelings of loss alone – our animals want us to learn from their death; hiding our sorrow can only do more damage.
Find a welcoming community (such as my Be Open Community) or at least one person that will allow you to express all of your grief freely. When your pet passes, it can be extremely hard to come to terms with this event, and having support can go a long way toward helping.
As long as you feel supported emotionally during the grieving process, learning how to connect with dead pets becomes simpler.
