If your pet died a violent or sudden death, not only are you in a state of shock after the unexpected loss, but your concerns will also be with your pet:
- Is he/she still suffering or is he okay in the afterlife?
- Can he get help, if he’s still in pain or in a state of fear?
- And what about saying goodbye – I didn’t even get a chance to say goodbye.
Sometimes the deceased needs help
Usually, we’re not able to get satisfactory answers to those questions, or rather, we don’t think there’s anything we can do about it. But it so happens that the deceased can be helped. It’s not always necessary, but in cases of sudden death, the animal might be stuck in a state of confusion and fear and need help to move on.
Helping the dead is well-known in several cultures, for instance the Tibetan. And in shamanism, one of the key tasks of the shaman is to escort the deceased to where he is supposed to go or connect him with a guide to will take him there.
What you can do
There are a few thing you can do yourself, if you feel your deceased pet might need help with the transition into the afterlife.
If you know meditation or have another spiritual practice, you can help you deceased pet by first taking time to relax and get as still inside as you can, and then imagine your pet safe and happy in the afterlife. What does it look like to you – your pet being safe and happy in the afterlife?
But if you are too upset because of the grief and pain, you can also for instance light a candle, put on some calming music, relax as good as you can and then ask the divine in whatever form you are most comfortable with to come and guide your pet. At the same time you can send out any messages you might have for your pet.
You might feel insecure and doubt whether you are doing it right, but it’s the intention that counts. If you state and send out your heartfelt intention of getting your deceased pet whatever help he or she needs most right now, then it will definitely have an effect, not only on your pet but also on yourself.
If you need help
You can try the above suggestions, but if you still feel you need help, then I can help you. You see, I’ve also been in that situation. I had a wonderful cat who I lost very suddenly and tragically, when he got run over by a car.
What helped me then was using the gentle process and healing power of shamanic journeying, which is a time-tested method of spiritual healing and guidance used by people all over the world for thousands of years. Shamanic journeying deals with the spiritual aspect of illness, and it’s also used to guide the deceased to where they are supposed to go in the afterlife.
