Understanding Your Pet’s Presence After They Pass

This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Psdee42.

Psdee: Hi, Cynthia and Bob. Thank you for all the hope and comfort you provide.

My beloved dog passed away about two weeks ago and I’m still struggling with it. She was with us for almost 15 years, which is amazing, but it never feels long enough. Do our pets try to give us signs that they are with us, just as people do?

Council: Yes. And we find animals are so pure. Their souls always try to help you in this life. They carry a lot of light and a lot of love, which you know. And so when they pass on, they stay around you because they want to make sure you are okay. And it really makes them sad when it’s hard for you. So they try to show you, sometimes out of the corner of your eye you might think something is there, or ran past. Or you could hear a noise in another room and there’s nothing there.

They will try and show you – and we tell this to everybody – when you have an animal and it passes, and you’re so hurt, and you’ll never have another one, that’s exactly the opposite of what your pet would want. Because if you gave it a good home, there are so many more that need a good home, and they will send one. When you are ready, they will send one to you. Either you’ll decide to go to a shelter, or you’ll find a lost one. They will send you another animal that they know you would give a good home to.

So if this happens, many people feel guilty, like, “Oh, if I take in a new one, the old one will think I don’t love it.” It is exactly the opposite. So be aware of that.

But yes, you will get signs. Be still. Try to be happy, because that’s when they can reach you the easiest, and you’ll have proof the animal is around. You will have proof that the animal is trying to reach you. And when they reach you, they sort of get excited too, that you’ve let them in. So stay calm, stay happy, and enjoy the memories that you have had.

Psdee: Are they with our loved ones when they cross over?

Council: Oh, definitely. Yes. They are with other animals that are on the other side. Other animals come to greet them just like our people from our past come and greet us. And they will go, and they will be with people from your family and your friends. So yes, they are not alone. Believe us, they are having a good time here.

Psdee: I know my grief will lessen with time, but these questions weigh heavily on my mind and heart.

Council: Of course. And yes, it will lessen. But always remember that in the short time that they are with us, they are helping us, and it’s our job to do the very best we can for them. And this way there is love that goes back and forth.
