Some of the most healing sessions I do are with animals in spirit. Reconnecting with a beloved animal friend who has departed breaks your heart space wide open and allows healing to flood in. The grief that accompanies loss of any kind is a personal experience we each go through in our way and on our own timeline, so every session I do with a departed animal companion is unique. Because of the deep bonds forged during a life together a departed companion knows just what messages are needed to support healing. I witness these messages break down feelings of anger, and guilt, release the sadness and pain that accompanies loss. Always confirming the love, connection, and companionship shared these messages lift the spirits of the recipient to the point they often say to me at the end of a session, "I feel lighter." In the case of Kelly and her beloved dog Coco the messages received during their session were about healing and Coco helping Kelly find new companion to share her life with.
Kelly contacted me because she was feeling ready to bring a new 4-legged companion into her life after the painful loss of her beloved dog Coco. She wanted to reconnect with Coco, feel her energy, hear her words, and share with her that while she would always love her, it was time to open her heart and life to another companion. Not only was Coco elated that Kelly was feeling ready to open her heart to new companion, affirming with us that yes, it is time, Coco told us that Kelly's new companion was already on course to connect with her! If you have read my book Beyond Companionship; Connecting with Kindred Souls of Animal Companions, you know that I am a firm believer that the animals in our lives are not here by mistake, their presence has profound purpose and meaning. It is no surprise to me the extraordinary and destine ways the right companion for someone finds his or her way into that persons life. I believe the fated meeting between Kelly and her new companion explained why Kelly had been increasingly feeling the need to search for a new furry friend. Here is Kelly's story of the day she found her new companion Buddy, with a little help from an angel.
Kelly's Facebook Post: Finding Buddy
Tuesday afternoon following my session with Amy, I had a 45 minute break between meetings. I had been looking for a dog, but never found the right one. I googled "animal shelter near me" and one popped up that I had never heard of. It was only 3 miles away.
As I pulled in and parked, I prayed to my beloved Coco who passed away six years ago, that she let me know definitively if my dog was there so I couldn't deny the information. (I usually walk in and want to take them all home!)
As I walk in, the dogs go nuts - jumping, barking, really frantic and chaotic. And, there amongst the noise is this precious boy quietly wagging his whole body. He looked JUST like Coco, only bigger with patches versus brindle. I knelt down next to him and the noise and anxiety in the kennel escalates, yet this dog "Boss" remained calm. As I put my fingers into the chain link cage, he gently hands me his paw. I burst out crying and gave him a paw massage just as I used to do for Coco. He slowly got sleepy and laid down in his cage, regardless of the noise and outside distraction. The vet tech came by and saw us sitting on the floor, tears running down my cheeks, and I said, "this is my dog." She told me that he had just been returned 20 minutes earlier after a tough weekend with a family who took him home. Why was it tough? I believe he was meant to be with me and they were simply holding him for a few days until I could find him.
Thank you Coco for all the love you gave me and our family, and most of all for bringing Buddy and joyfulcompanionship back into my life. (For those you believe in animal communicators, I highly recommend Amy Miller. She was integral in helping me along this journey.)
