During the challenging time when you are grieving the loss of your beloved animal companion, you may feel alone and lost without your animal friend by your side. But although you animal friend is no longer with you in their physical body, you can get much peace and comfort by making a connection with your animal companion in the afterlife.

One way to make such a connection, that you can try out for yourself is my “Easy Exercise To Connect With Your Pet In The Afterlife“. You can find more insights and another way to connect with an angel animal, in the following message which I received from one of my spirit guides.

I am honored to be sharing this beautiful message of light, love and inspiration, that you can use in your life to move into a place of gratitude, and particularly for creating a bridge to your beloved animal companion in the afterlife.

“Life is so precious”, my spirit guide says as we are walking in the light. “Taking it for granted is so easy. It is an important practice to occasionally stop for a moment, become present in your body and let yourself feel gratitude for the gift of life and for the body you have which is supporting you as you move through life here on Earth. All life is precious – and recognizing the preciousness and interconnectedness of all life is a way to joy and a way to experiencing the bond which exists between us all at all times.

As for creating a bridge to a pet in the afterlife; first contemplate the invisible bond you know without a doubt existed, and still exists, between your animal friend and you. You felt it when your animal companion was alive; and now that your animal companion has passed – when your tears and grief has calmed – move into gratitude by using the method I just described. It involves becoming present in your body as well as in the place you’re in.”


Healing Pet Loss - Marianne Soucy - Gratitude quote
And my spirit guide continues:

“Go within to experience presence and gratitude, and without to become aware in your life and experience the life around you. Connect with that in gratitude. And with a heart full of gratitude, let your heart open up and send out a light beam, or a bridge of gratitude if you wish, with the intent of reaching your animal that has passed.

Experience the joy you are met with as your bridge of gratitude reaches and connects with your pet. Feel how there IS no distance between you. In spirit you are near; in the light you are one.

Open up to receive the message of love they bring you. Let the guilt and the grief go for a moment and know in your heart that you are loved and that your spirits can touch and rejoice.

Gratitude and presence – and letting go – are keys.

As you say goodbye to your pet, and they return to the light while you once again become present in your body, keep the gratitude and the gift of love you received as you go about your day.

Who can you share that love and gratitude with today? Who needs a touch from your loving heart?”


My spirit guide stops speaking and turns to look at me, beaming with light and love. As I look at him, I see infinity, and a compassion and joy that I hope one day to embody as well. May this wisdom and light bring you peace and inspiration today.

Sending you love and gratitude,
Marianne

  1. I lost my beloved 13-year old kitty, Cubbie, around Thanksgiving 2013. It was very unexpected, and I was in a lot of grief.

    The day after he passed, I began to hear him, and then I was able to connect with other animals. He became my connection to animal communication. No one was more surprised than I. Something I hadn’t felt I could do for many years became as natural as breathing.

    He still helps me connect, and he hangs out with our family. What a gift he has been … on both sides of the veil!

    Thank you so much for this beautiful message. When my beloved Candy dog died very unexpectedly, I remember feeling that she and her life had been all about gratitude. So this message really speaks to me! I love thinking about a gratitude bridge between us which will always be there to allow us to connect any time/any place.

    Blessings to you and all your divine sparks (companion animals)!!!

  3. At one point, we had 3 generations of dachshunds in our house, 2 families sharing a home and a life. Yet, Marianne when they started to transition, the paint was intense and manageable only because there were other dachshunds in the house who needed our support in their grief and looked to us as the Leaders of the Pack.

    What I did notice was that on Day 4 of the passing over, my third eye would activate and I knew that the loved one was near. I have used the moment to send out messages of love and gratitude and asked for forgiveness for any thing I might have inadvertently done to hurt them during our time in this life and a peace would descend.

    I know they still look out for me, especially Bruno who I firnly believe is responsible for my new pet companion Coco because on what would have been his 18th birthday, I told him that the grief was unbearable and I needed a new fur friend. Within 48 hours, Coco was gifted to me by a dear friend who wanted a loving home for her dog’s last puppy and was not able to find a good home because nobody wanted a girl dog.

    I had met Coco when she was 21 days old and loved her but was too caught up in my grief at the time to realize that she had already chosen me or knew that she was meant for me! Our pets do provide for us from the other side, Marianne.
