When Animals Cross Over

8/15/2018

10 Comments

A big part of my work is talking to animals who have crossed over. It seems that over the past couple of months, I have talked to many more who have recently lost their beloved animal companions. I find that there is often just as much grief and guilt that comes with losing an animal as there is when losing a human loved one.

I wanted to share some of the messages that repeatedly come up in readings with animals who have crossed over, hoping this might help someone who feels stuck in the grief of their loss. 

Before I begin, I want to note that I do not pretend to know everything about the other side (I think there's a lot we cannot even fathom). This post is just based on my experiences from the past 5 or so years of talking to animals who have passed.

*****

Guilt is a common part of the grieving process when we lose someone. These are the ones I see the most in my clients who have lost animals:

  • That they were gone a lot of the time, and didn't spend enough time with them
  • That they didn't realize that their animal was sick
  • That they did suspect something was wrong, but didn't bring them to the vet in time
  • That they weren't able to find the animal if the animal was lost (they didn't look enough, or not in the right places)
  • That they did something unknowingly that contributed to their passing
  • That they didn't try hard enough to help the animal through their aggression issues
  • That they didn't give them enough attention
  • Worry over whether or not euthanasia was the right choice for the animal
  • Worry over whether or not the animal was confused about why they were being euthanized
  • That they somehow unknowingly caused the animal more pain by not choosing or not getting the opportunity to choose euthanasia

Animal companions are unconditional love. In life, they might experience trauma or other things that drives them towards less than loving behaviors (such as with animals that are trained to fight, or animals that have been abused), but in essence they are unconditional love. They retain both their personality and their essence of unconditional love when they cross over. In fact, that essence often becomes more pronounced after passing (just like with humans when they pass).

This means that animals do not usually hold grudges when they cross over. In fact, they often show deep understanding and compassion for their human companions. I have never had an animal want my client to feel guilty about anything they did or didn't do. 

(Of course, I have never had a client who intentionally tried to harm their animal companions. I have spoken to animals on the other side who expressed strong dislike of previous owners who were abusive, but not towards my clients.)

In a reading with an animal that has passed, they will usually show me the thing that my client feels guilty about. Then they might show me the circumstances of the situation (why the owner had to do the thing, or not do the thing). They do this to prove that they know why the client had to do that, and show that it's OK. They understand. There's nothing to forgive. Then they might prove that they are still around you, and most of all, they want to show you that they are more than fine on the other side.

In my experience, animals (just like humans) have a certain time they are meant to cross over. If they didn't pass in this one way, their soul would have found another way to pass soon anyways. Nothing that you did or didn't do could would have kept them here any longer. For whatever reason, their soul decided that this was the way to go now. 

Often animals will share that they passed after helping their humans through a particularly difficult period. Their soul was done with their life-purpose, and so it was time to pass. I have also had animals share that they passed right before a period of big changes in their human's life, because they felt they could better help their humans through it from the other side (by helping to orchestrate events, etc).

Picture
I always encourage people to establish their own spiritual connection with their loved ones and animals on the other side. However, I usually recommend waiting until you are through the worst of the grief, before you try to communicate with them yourself. Communicating with animals and those who have crossed over is such a subtle art. It can be hard for beginners to discern between what is from their loved ones and what is just made up by their own mind or just random energies passing by. It can also be easy to taint a message coming through with our own pre-conceived notions or the guilt that we feel. When receiving true messages from our loved ones or animal companions on the other side, they will always feel positive and uplifting in some way.

I also have to mention that spirits have shared with me that deaths usually have a lot less suffering than we tend to imagine. Souls will leave their bodies before even the body has died in a lot of cases, (especially in very traumatic passings). Also, their loved ones and our loved ones help them cross over when it's time. Your beloved animals are never truly alone when they pass.

In my readings, animals will also share with me their happiest memories from when they were alive. These are the memories they want you to think of and focus on when you think of your animal companion. These memories and thoughts help lift your spirits, and can help you feel their presence around you even stronger. From doing this work, I also know that our animal companions love to be around us after they've crossed over. As soon as you think about them, they can feel that, and they'll draw closer. And they love to share in those beautiful memories you created together.

Sending you all lots of healing thoughts,
Thea

Hey Thea,
I wanted to thank you for the thought and love you put into this blog post.

I am currently struggling with the loss of my cat, Aslan, and am having a hard time navigating through this grief. The waves come on quite strongly and I feel as though I am sitting in it.

This may be partially tied to guilt, as you mentioned, because this is the first time I have ever had to make the decision to have a friend pass. He was in pain and his kidneys shut down, but I was the one who made the choice for him.

I just wanted to share my appreciation for this post because it has given me a perspective I can navigate through my grief with. I am very grateful.

All the best
Halie

After years of wasting money on lottery tickets with nothing to show, I was ready to give up until I discovered a powerful spell caster named Lord Bubuza. Desperate for a breakthrough, I contacted him for help to win the lottery. Lord Bubuza performed a lottery spell and gave me a set of winning numbers. Skeptical but hopeful, I played them and everything changed. To his shock, I won $2,000,000 and chose the one time cash option of $1.3 million. I cant stop thanking Lord Bubuza since. I used to be broke, frustrated, and hopeless. Now I’m debt-free, smiling, and finally living my dream life, all thanks to Lord Bubuza. I, Vatchel Younger now encourages others who feel stuck or unlucky to trust in Lord Bubuza’s powerful spell. Contact him via email: [email protected] or WhatsApp: +1 (365) 808 5313 ...

Thank you so much for putting so much love and care into this post Thea. My dog passed when I was not there and the guilt doesn't go away. I do know that Leah always says that when they connect with us, it's to tell us how they they love us.
I'm booked onto your animal communication course in February and am so looking forward to it. Being able to communicate with our animals, here and on the other side, is a gift that has no price .....it's priceless.
I hear only amazing things about you and I feel so honoured and humbled to have a space on your course - thank you. Namaste 💜🙏💜 Yvonne

EFFECTIVE LOVE SPELL TO GET EX HUSBAND/BOYFRIEND OR EX WIFE/GIRLFRIEND AND CURE HERPES AND INFERTILITY THAT WORKS WITHIN 24 HOURS.

Contact Doctor Odunga at [email protected] OR Whats App/CALL +2348167159012

I got my ex husband back to me and also got fertile and gave birth to twin girls after 12 years of marriage.
When I came online last year, I saw a testimony about Doctor Odunga and how he has been helping people with marriage issues and I decided to contact him. We spoke on email at [email protected] and later he gave me his Whats-App number which is +2348167159012. He assured me he would help me get my ex husband back after 3 years of no contact. Doctor Odunga is the best spell caster I must say. My husband called me after 24 hours of contact. The third day, I received natural herbs for fertility and after using it, I became fertile and conceived. My husband and I reconnected, had sex and I was pregnant. Presently I am happy to say I am the mother of twin girls and this is ALL THANKS TO DOCTOR ODUNGA. I came online to say this: If you need help, I believe you are saved with this man.

Contact his email at [email protected]

OR Whats App/Call +2348167159012 and you too will give a testimony too to help others

2025 has changed my life. I never believed I would be cured by a spell caster who specializes in herbal cure and magical spells. I am talking about the help Doctor Odunga gave to me. I have been cured of herpes (HSV) which has plagued me for over 2 years. I am very happy to tell others that if you want to be cured or get your ex back spells and get pregnant naturally, even financial blessing through lottery, there is only one place to be and that is with Dr Odunga Spell Temple. Am so happy that just 3 days after taking DR ODUNGA Herbal treatments my herpes was cured permanently. DR ODUNGA also have cure to #HIV #Diabetes #Lupus #Tinnitus #Fibroid #Cancer #Hepatitis B, #Syphilis #Infertility etc ...

If you have this ailment or whatsoever you might be suffering from you should contact him at his EMAIL: [email protected] OR VIA Whats App +2348167159012

Hi everyone I am Emily Naomi wanna give a big thanks to this wonderful psychic for bringing my husband back to me.. I never really believed in magic spells or anything spiritual but a trusted friend opened my eyes to the truth about life. My marriage was heading to divorce a few months ago. I was so confused and devastated with no clue or help on how to prevent it, till I was introduced to this psychic Priest Ray that did a love spell and broke every spiritual distraction from my marriage. A day later my husband started showing me love and care even better than it used to be, he’s ready to talk things through and find ways for us to stay happy. It’s such a miracle that my marriage can be saved so quickly without stress. You can also contact him for help by email [email protected] or you can also visit his website: psychicspellshrine.com or Whatsapp: +27613732619

Hello, it’s a lovely morning here. I am Vanessa Craig, and I am writing this article to inform everyone that just because we overlook certain information due to our lack of knowledge doesn’t mean it isn’t real. I am currently valued at more than £70 Million Pounds because I acknowledged this vital information. I had assistance from a man named Meduza I found online whose impressive testimonials about his spell work are legit and genuine. His lottery spell enabled me to win £65 Million Pounds in the lottery by providing me with the accurate winning numbers after he performed a lottery spell for me. I placed my full trust in him and followed his instructions without any hesitation and right now, I am proud to say that Meduza’s spiritual advice for winning the lottery is superb and outstanding. I am very grateful to him for his help. To learn more, reach out to him via
