Gracie the angel dog – ‘Nothing that is of the heart is ever truly lost’

Gracie collage

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 Gracie the angel dog.

You can both listen to and read Gracie’s message below.

As I begin the Sacred Spirit Journey to connect with Gracie, I am in a place of light. In the center of the light, I meet my spirit guide, and I repeat my intention to meet Gracie. My spirit guide is carrying a beautiful little bouquet of spring flowers. There’s so much hope and beauty and joy in that little flower bouquet.

I see an opening before us, and we step through the opening and find that we are on a path. It’s an ethereal place filled with light. Mostly white light all around us. What stands out is the flowers my spirit guide is carrying, and their colors.

My spirit guide throws the bouquet up in the air, and the flowers spread out all around us. The interesting thing is that when they land, spring flowers of all kinds and colors begin to grow and blossom everywhere, as far as we can see. It is a most amazing landscape.

We then see Gracie come walking towards us among all the flowers. She looks very beautiful.

“Welcome”, Gracie says to us and smiles.

I greet her and ask: “How are you doing?”.

Gracie says:

“I am doing well in the Light. As you can see, my spirit is radiant and strong.

The physical ailments belong to the physical body which I have now cast off. My body served me well for many years, as I happily shared my life with my beloved family, but the essence of who I am is Light, Joy and Beauty.

I center in that now and shine my Light, Joy, and Beauty for the benefit of all, especially my loved ones back home.

What I have called home for so many years is still in a sense home, for wherever my family is, that is home to me. We belong together, and our hearts will always connect in the love which we share. I am never far, so when they call on me, I’m there, holding them in my infinite love. Tell them they can imagine joining me in this magical meadow of flowers – in this place where the beauty of my heart reigns. It is the beauty of the heart manifest”.


Gracie, now directly to her family, says:

Let peace enter your heart, for I am doing fine, and there is nothing you did wrong. You did the very best you could, and it did happen quite suddenly.

It was my time to go. The Light called me, and I did not want to put you through a long drawn-out period with issues and challenges.

Let go of all regrets you have and gently return to the present moment, with everything it entails. Emotions come and go. They are not who you are. Beyond the pain and sadness is the light, the joy, the love and the beauty where you can always find me.

Remember, – and share with me – some of the many fond memories we shared. Sure, they bring sadness too, as we are not together in physical form anymore, but our souls, our hearts: they are connected as much as they have ever been. Don’t forget that.

When the sun shines, go outside and let the light shine on you and fill you. Feel me there.

Gracie dog Spring quote
When Spring comes, enjoy the beauty around you. Bring flowers into your life that remind you of me, or of our time together and of the joy I brought into your life.

Find ways to bring joy, beauty, love and light into your life. That is one simple way you can honor me and the life we shared. Which flower is, to you, the essence of me and my qualities? Bring that flower into your house.

All is well, and all will be well. You’re feeling much grief right now, I know. Allow yourself to grieve. Let whatever feelings you have be there. Let them come and go, like the waves of the sea wash onto the shore and retract back into the ocean. It’s the resistance that especially causes suffering.

When you surrender to what is, you will find that the essence of who I am is still with you.

Nothing that is of the heart is ever truly lost. What we shared and created will last. You may not see it with your eyes, but with your heart. Keep moving into the heart where you know I am.

Call on me and I will help ease your pain. Call on me, and I will be your companion in spirit, and I will listen to your troubles and your celebrations. Everything you shared with me before, you can share with me now. I’m here. Not restricted by my hitherto small physical size. No, my love and my light fills the Universe.

Please accept this little yellow crocus from me and bring it home, as a gift and a reminder of the joy that filled our hearts when we were together. Let joy fill your hearts again when you are ready. I send you all my love from the bottom of my heart.

Always yours, Gracie”


Kaye had joined us. She now holds and kisses Gracie, and accepts the little flower Gracie gave her.

Kaye says: “Thank you for this little sun”. They look around for a while, taking in the beauty of the place.

Kaye says: “I will keep the image of this beautiful place and of you in my mind and in my heart. You are such a blessing, Gracie. Thank you for everything.”

Gracie makes a little sound and kisses Kaye. As they say goodbye it is not a sad goodbye, for they know their souls will never truly be apart.

I watch Kaye leave for home, say goodbye to Gracie, thank my spirit guide and end the journey.


Receive your own pet’s personal healing message ❤️

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. If you want to learn more, click on link or on the menu at the top of this page where it says Receive a message from YOUR Pet.
