Animals in Spirit: Our faithful companions’ transition to the afterlife
(9) Comments
Animal companions are an important part of many people’s lives. Unfortunately, animals typically lead much shorter lives than their human counterparts, often causing much grief and sadness. In Animals in Spirit: Our faithful companions’ transition to the afterlife
Smith has gathered recollections from her own experiences and others which together present a broad yet similar compilation of revelations. Animals have a deep understanding of the death/life cycle and perceive that they are more than their physical bodies. Part of the cycle is the recognition that death may occur in order that another animal or human may eat. This is an agreement that animals are prepared to fulfill.
Animals consider death a transition to a nonphysical existence, yet awareness remains. There is no dread related with the concept of dying, it is simply an inevitable natural event. Due to an animal’s heightened sensitivities, human emotion may sometimes cause a beloved pet to stay physically present longer than they might ordinarily choose in order to forestall the survivor’s inevitable grief and anxiety. In order to avoid unnecessary trauma to the animal, a human’s more merciful response would be to let go and provide calm and loving support.
Sometimes an animal’s purpose is related to their death. While human companionship is certainly an obvious role for animals, their dying may be related to a greater spiritual goal of expanding consciousness. For example, slaughtered dolphins explained their purpose was to bring awareness to humans in order that they would stop destroying life on earth. Sometimes a graphic communication is more powerful than a peaceful message.
After leaving their bodies, animals remain available to connect energetically with humans and other animals. Opening one’s awareness is the key to making these spiritual connections. They may come to us in dreams or by utilizing other signs such as sounds, scent or the movement of significant objects. Often their message is related to easing their human’s guilt or grief related to their death.
There are accounts of animals who return permanently or temporarily in the bodies of other animals. This is typically recognized due to uncannily similar patterns of behavior. Animals have been known to leave a sick or worn out body merely to return almost immediately in a more healthy body. Many animals return again and again throughout a human’s lifetime and perhaps throughout other lifetimes. There may be unfinished business or simply a deep and abiding shared love and affection.
Above all, Smith encourages us to honor the lives and deaths of our animal companions. They are here to assist and teach us and to provide unconditional love. While grief is understandable following an animal’s transition, there is solace in the knowledge that our animals remain with us in spirit.
