Brooke from Lawrence, MA, asked:
Hi Julie,
After losing my father on November 15th, 2022, I started searching, learning, listening, and trying to get a better understanding of things from a spiritual level. This has brought me to find you on a podcast with Dr. Amy Robbins, buy your Angelic Attendants book, and listen to your podcast.
I plan on calling on Thursdays to try to get a few minutes with you to ask about my father.
In the meantime, I’m wondering if you’ve witnessed a passing animal’s transition? Is it the same as humans? Are they surrounded by angels, and perhaps animal and human spirits?
Thanks so much for taking the time to read this. I look forward to hearing from you!
Light and love,
Brooke
Hi Brooke,
My sincere condolences on the loss of your father. I hope you found some comfort from reading my book.
As for the spiritual side of an animal’s passing, yes, I have witnessed many, including my own pets’ transitions.
It’s been my experience that like humans, an animal’s spirit exits the body through the top of the head and will stay attached during the dying process. That’s where the similarities end.
To date, I haven’t witnessed an animal being surrounded by other animal spirits, angels, or human spirits. That doesn’t mean they aren’t with those beings once they’ve transitioned, just that I don’t see it during the actively dying phase.
It’s interesting to note, however, there are many examples of animals knowing when an animal or human in their midst is dying.
For example, wild horses come to say goodbye to a dying horse in their herd, and there are many stories about elephants walking long distances in a sort of funeral procession to pay their respects to a human friend who died.
The best news however, is, our deceased pets’ spirits are always around us and we can communicate with them whenever we like.
Thanks for your question.
