Communicating with pets in the afterlife – Q & A with Marianne Soucy

In this blog we’re going to do something a little bit different: I will answer a question I received from a reader. If you have listened to the Healing Pet Loss Podcast, read some of the blogs on the website or my book Healing Pet Loss, you’ll know that I often share beautiful, healing messages from animals in the afterlife. So in today’s blog, I will answer the question I got from a reader:

How did you know that you had this gift of communicating with the pets in the afterlife?

Marianne Soucy That’s a good question. First I want to talk briefly about the word ‘Gift’. As the word ‘gift’ is used here, it can mean two things: The first perspective is focusing on the feeling of gratitude for having the opportunity to connect with animals and spirit guides. That’s how I see it and how I feel.

The second is what is it we usually mean when we say or hear the ‘gift’ which implies a special ability bestowed on someone, and that most others just don’t have.

To me, it wasn’t something that was just there – it wasn’t something I was just born with – although I have always loved and had a strong connection with animals. Connecting with and communicating with animals in the afterlife was something I learned by persevering and practicing.

I have been doing shamanic journeying for years – working with animals, spirit guides for healing and guidance, but the communication part with the longer messages, where I capture the actual words of the pets, other animals and spirit guides, was something I began in 2012.

2012 was the year I lost my beloved cat Kia. She died all alone in an animal hospital. She was there for tests, but he died during her first night there.

Kia and MarianneNaturally, I was devastated, and felt so guilty for leaving her there overnight, and I felt a strong need to connect with her directly. I had a hard time focusing enough to do my usual journeys, so then I developed a special writing technique where I could capture the actual messages from the journeys.

And as I did that, I managed to connect with Kia, and I began receiving messages of forgiveness, love, healing, and guidance from her. There was nothing else that could have brought me that degree of peace that her messages and the connection brought me.

And although I still miss her very much and occasionally feel the pain of her tragic death, I know I can connect with her, and that she’s okay. She has become a real teacher for me and her wisdom has moved many people.

So while I feel it’s a gift and an honor to be able to connect with animals in the afterlife, it’s not something that I feel is bestowed on a few select individuals. It’s a skill that can be learned, but at the same time, it’s also a way of seeing and moving through life. It requires moving from the head and the mind and moving into the heart. It requires becoming what I like to call a ‘hollow bone’ – getting yourself out of the way, so that the healing wisdom and guidance can come through from the other side.

If you would like to be connected with and receive a spiritual message from your pet in the afterlife, you can read more about it and order a journey on my website, HealingPetLoss.com – but you can also first try the ”Easy Exercise for Connecting with A Pet in the Afterlife” that I have created and that you can download for free on my website. Many have found this simple exercise helpful.

I’ll end with a few quotes from my beloved angel cat Kia:

“If you allow yourself to be in the present – and let go of me – you’ll see that I’m not gone and that you can never lose me.”

“It is when you fully realize that you can access me and my love right here in the present that all guilt and regret fall away, and you can not only remember our time together with love and joy but also experience my presence in the now, for I am with you wherever you go.”

Here’s an example of a Sacred Spirit Journey (a form of shamanic journey) with one of my ‘spirit meetings’ with my beloved Kia: A gift of peace from an angel cat

  1. hai my dog died yesterday. She was facing fungal infection and before 1 week she died, she was having some discharge from her nose (like mucus)due to the infection. Right before her last breath, I witness it. when she was taking her last breath I really panic. Because I wasn’t prepared for it even i know she was weak. I can’t take the pain. She was really very special to me. I wonder she forgive me or not. i feel so guilty. All i wanna how she is doing and was she suffered a lot. ???? I tried your easy exercise communicating with animal. I guess it’s too fast to see the result or i am doing it in wrong way. I want to feel and reach her again.

  2. I lost my daughter Cindy, my 9 year old boxer a week ago. She was brendel with white paws and almond eyes.

  3. When you do the communication, do you have to see a picture of the dog? Do you do it over the phone? What information do you require to do a reading?

    • While I sometimes do ‘readings’ where I may use oracle or tarot cards, I normally do a Sacred Spirit Journey (a form of shamanic journey), through which I journey to the spirit realm and meet the spirit of your pet, and we have a two way communication. I have developed a special writing technique which enables me to record your pet’s exact words and message. This does not take place on the phone.

      Before doing a journey, I like to have your pet’s name and a brief description; how and when they died, if there are others in the household (human or animal) who are mourning the loss, and a photo of your pet. To receive a message from your pet, visit the link below.
