I understand that this is a conversation you don't want to have. When I had this conversation two years ago with my best friend Griffin, I can remember looking at him laying on his bed asking me to let him go and saying this is not it, this can not be THAT moment. But it was, and when I relinquished to that fact he and I were able to be present to one another his last day in a way I will always be grateful for.
I'm not going to give you the message or the words so to speak like I have for every other in-the-moemnt message, rather the essence of the message. That essence is, that you understand it's time for him or her to release the pain or experience of the physical body, that it's ok to go. Weather your animal companion is leaving on his/her own or your are supporting him/her in transitioning voicing that it's ok for them to go now is a gift and will immediately shift the energy around the experience for you both. I have worked with animals who leave quickly upon hearing these words, I have seen animals perk up from the relief of these words just enough to share one more day or one more romp with their person. What ever the circumstance it seems to always be what was meant to be.
Sometimes the message you don't want to send is the message that is most needed. If you would like guidance in supporting your animal through transition, you can CLICK HERE to book a transiting session with me.
