After the loss of a beloved animal companion, one of things that can bring deep peace and comfort is connecting with the animal that has passed, for example through my Sacred Spirit Journeys, where I connect with the angel animal and bring back their healing message for their loved ones. In the following I will share below the Sacred Spirit Journey I did for Siana Troxel and her angel cat, Radison.
You can both listen to and read Radison’s message below.

As I begin the sacred Spirit Journey to connect with Radison, I become fully present in the Now. I fill my body with awareness. My whole body. I am sending gratitude to my body, and as I do, light and peace begins to flow more freely within me. Becoming aware of how much my body works for me all hours of the day and night, places me in a humble, open state of softness and light.
I center in my heart, and it feels safe there. It is full of light, and with my awareness in it, it seems to expand. I am in that expanded, light-filled heart space, feeling the peace as I introduce my intention: To meet Radison. Right away I see Radison appear before me.
“Hello”, he says. “I have been waiting. It is good to see you. I look forward to having my message brought to Siana, so she can get some peace of mind and comfort of her heart.”
I say: “Thanks. I am happy to see you too. Where do we go?”
Radison says:
“Look at your feet.”
I look down at my feet and focus on them. As I do, I feel grass on the Earth below my feet. My feet are bare, and I notice that I am walking in a forest.
A bobcat peeks out at us from behind a tree. It reminds me of the Bobcat card, ‘Life is a Mystery’ – from Colette Baron-Reid’s Spirit Animal Oracle Cards.
Bobcat steps forward and says:
“The Great Mystery is with you every step of the way on your journey through life.
Enter each moment with gratitude, expand your awareness – also to the environment around you – and ‘look with wonder at that which is before you’.
‘Be present with gratitude’ is probably a phrase you have heard many times before, but if you actually do it, live it, you will begin to feel peace in your heart, and you will begin to feel me in the present with you. I am, you know, still with you in spirit, with my infinite love and my light which I hold for you and guide you with during your troubled times.
You are not alone. I walk with Radison, and I walk with you. Call on me for help too, for I love you, and I am here to support you, help you heal, and empower you.
Be blessed and walk in faith.”
Bobcat disappears again. Siana has joined us. She must have heard Bobcat’s powerful speech. When Bobcat spoke, it sounded and felt a lot like Radison and also like it was an animal that was already a part of Siana’s life, whether she is consciously aware of it or not. Radison says:
“Yes, it did sound like me, didn’t it. That’s because we are connected. We both serve Siana. We are both part of her soul’s journey, and we are both here to help her heal.”
There is a wooden bench close by, and Radison jumps up on it. Siana sits too, and Radison goes and sits on her lap. Siana holds Radison tight and kisses him.
Siana says: “I love you so much, Radison, and I miss you. The pain is unbearable, and I can’t let go of the unfairness of you dying so young. It wasn’t right.”
Radison says softly to Siana:
“I am here now, my dearest friend. I am here now. In fact, I never left your side, for that is where I belong. In this life, and the next.
Release the guilt, the thought of ‘it’s unfair’, and simply center in your heart and think of all the things you are grateful for in our life together. It was a sacred gift we were given. Don’t let your grief drown out the happy memories, but allow your grief to live side by side with your joy of me, of us.
It is not either or. Notice that behind the pain, behind the grief is the deep, deep love that you feel for me. I feel that deep love for you too. I always have, and I always will. Nothing can change that.
When you allow the joy and the grief to co-exist, the grief won’t dominate your life to the same degree. You can feel me near too, and you can feel the joy as well.
Your feelings run deep in your precious soul. Find creative ways ways to honor our life together. Look within for inspiration. The love you hold needs to be expressed.
Also, contemplate what quality I have that especially meant a lot to you. What do you feel I especially brought to your life, and how did I make you feel? What did our companionship teach you? Journal on some of these things, and instead of letting those valuable lessons be forgotten, see how you can bring some of my qualities into your life now.”
Radison stops speaking and they sit and look around for a while.
“Peace”, Siana says. “You brought peace to my heart. I feel home with you. My soul had found its mate, if that makes sense to you.”
Radison says:
“Oh yes, it makes very much sense to me. We are companions, in life and beyond. We complement each other.
As I used to bring you peace while I was alive, now practice going within heart and find my light, my presence, and my love there now still. Our connection, our bond, is of the heart, so go within – behind the pain, to the Big Heart, the space of the heart, our sacred space where our souls can meet.
Learn to connect with me, spirit to spirit, heart to heart. You knew already when I was alive that our bond goes way beyond the physical. Connect with that invisible bond now, and know I am with you still.
Release the Why, the What If’s, and the But’s, and be present right here, right now in the present moment. Don’t fight it. Relax. As you do, you will find me there. As you do, you will find the peace your heart is yearning for.
Take one day at a time. Each day, find one thing about me and us you are grateful for. A special memory, a feeling, whatever it is for you.
I will do it too. I will start:
I am grateful I had a chance to gift my life to you and walk beside you, be part of your life.
Thank you for caring for me.
Thank you for trusting me.
Thank you for loving me with all your heart.
Your heart is so beautiful. Let it be shared with others who need it. I will be with you still. What we have, nobody can replace, but your capacity for loving is infinite, so give of your love, your joy, your light. And each day return to your heart. To me; return home, to recharge and to re-center.
And don’t forget Bobcat. He can help you too. He can show you the secrets of the forest and of life. He can teach you about the Great Mystery of Life. Life is a wondrous gift. Make the most of it. I am by your side every step of the way. I love you, now and forever.”
As Radison stops speaking, a white dove and a deer come close.
Dove says: “I will bring you peace”.
Deer says: “I help you release fear and walk with elegance and light feet. I bring sweetness to your journey.”
Siana greets them both and thanks them. To Radison, she says: “You’ve got a lot of friends.”
Radison smiles and says:
“Indeed, I do. My friends are your friends too. Be at peace now and walk home with a light heart. We are okay. You’ll be fine. You are so loved.”
Siana hugs Radison and they stay close for a while, just being together.
She lets him go and says: “Thank you, Radison. Thank you for everything. I’m eternally grateful to you.”
Radison says:
“You’re welcome. I will also walk with peace in my heart now, for I know that we have reconnected. I am grateful you reached out to me. That is an act of faith. You are on a healing path now. Bless you, my friend. Love always.”
I ask my spirit guide: “Is there anything else we need to do?”
My spirit guide says: “No, we are done for now.”
Siana and Radison say a warm goodbye. We sense how Siana returns to physical or ordinary reality. It is like she had been journeying into her heart space, and she is now back in ordinary reality. Her heart is full and at peace. Even if grief is still felt, there an underlying peace that was not there before.
Returning home, Siana looks more present, more at peace, and her place is more ‘alive’ and more filled with light.
I give thanks and end the journey.

“Dear Marianne,
Thank you so incredibly much for the gift you’ve given me. This was such a beautiful message and the three animals he spoke about are actually three animals that are in my life right now, 3 cats that have the personality of those 3 animals. Knowing that he essentially sent them to me is very cathartic. I really have no words to explain what peace this brought me, I’ve read it every day multiple times a day since you sent it to me.
Thank you so much. I’m going to do as you said and keep reflecting on it, reading it and listening to it without any thought or judgment, and when I’m ready, I’ll explore the options you’ve mentioned at the end of the pdf and see what else it brings to me. When you mentioned that you felt I had tried journeying into the heart to connect with him already – I actually did try to do that Friday, and the first words you said I had said to him were exactly what I said to him then.
I’m just in awe. Everything he said… I feel so much lighter. I’m so blessed. Thank you so, so, so much.
So many blessings, Siana”

I have found from my own experience with losing animals that were close to my heart, that the best advice for healing your heart after the loss of your beloved pet will most often come from your own angel animal – from your animal friend who knows you better than anyone, and whom you have a heart and soul connection with.I have made my Sacred Spirit Journeys available, so you can receive a healing message from your animal companion that has passed.
