What truly does happen when a beloved animal companion passes over?

Our beloved animal companions do not live forever. Even with this knowledge, we are never prepared when we lose them and it is extremely difficult. No one can tell you what to do or when it is right to move on when it does happen either, as the mourning process is an immensely personal journey.

I know for myself, it has only been a year since my beautiful Baron (pictured) passed and I still cry like a wailing banshee when I think of him. However, Spirit implored me to share this story with you all, in the hope someone finds peace one day, when they lose their beloved animal companion.

So, what happens when our beloved animal companions, or animals in general, pass over to Spirit?

Firstly, animals are sentient beings – fact. They are able to experience the full range of emotions we do, although with a little less human complexity, and are aware of their own existence.

Spirit has also taught me that each animal, such as our beloved companions, do not have individual souls. More so, they belong to a collective soul for each species. For example, all dogs share one collective soul, which is one of the biggest, beautiful souls in the animal kingdom alongside horses and dolphins. Their soul is the embodiment of unconditional love, as dogs are one of the most forgiving, loving creatures on this planet.

For the sad part – our beloved animal companions do not live forever. Their lives are short but are more profound than we could ever imagine. Furthermore, before they pass over, they know their time is coming to an end well before we do, or even care to admit. Animals sense so much more than us, and see the elementals, angels and other spiritual beings, who come to help the passing.

Passing over is never easy and this is why we all have our support in Spirit during these times; including animals! I can confirm this, as the night Baron passed, out under the stars, the air was thick and filled with these beings. There were rainbow, white and green orbs, rainbow lights and sparkles galore; all elemental and angelic beings coming to assist him.

Now, after the initial shock of passing over subsides, some animals linger while others move on to the light and join their collective soul without haste. Once they join this collective soul, they go on to heal their weary selves and finally rest. They can return from this place to visit in Spirit, but only once they have healed among their animal brethren in the Spirit realms.

Spirit has shown me this animal healing space but like most things in spirit, each of us view it differently. For me, I see it as a magical realm where humans do not exist and all the animals are free to roam in their own timeline, space and natural habitat. Their collective souls welcoming back their brothers and sisters, and time is spent healing and removing any trauma or pain.

It is a truly magical place, almost like the Garden of Eden itself.

Sometimes however, like any Spirit, animals need a little helping hand to cross over to that magical place, which was the case for Baron.

Baron – my guardian, protector and animal familiar; I mean, he was a German Shepherd after all.

A few days after Baron’s passing, I was sitting on my lounge at around three in the morning like I normally do when I cannot sleep. This time was different however, as my fellow night owl, Baron, was not on the lounge with me. There was however a faint sense presence lingering in the air plus my Aunty Betty’s spirit standing in the corner of the room. I left it be as I was quite tired, wished her a good night and went to bed (see above picture with the beam of light).

That next night while sitting on the lounge, I felt Baron’s paw – insert goosebumps! I instantly turned to my left where he’d normally be and felt him reach out for me like he used to do when I wasn’t paying him attention – insert goosebumps and tears! I closed my eyes, took a breath, and there he was with his big dark eyes, gorgeous white coat and those bloody big ears.

He was sad, however not sad about himself but for me, and I could feel his heart’s pain; his best friend was not coping.

In a flash, my Aunty Betty and spirit guides stepped in and took over the space. They told me that Spirit was allowing Baron to say goodbye as when he passed, he hid away from us in the backyard to spare us the pain, and as a result we didn’t get to say goodbye.

Goosebumps. Tears. The lot!

Spirit showed me all the memories of our adventures together across Australia and just how amazing our journey was together. Following this, I was told I had to let him go. Both he and I had to heal, as for how ever long he lingered, the pair of us remain in pain.

So, with a heavy heart, I nodded and let him go off with them to the light now shining brightly in the distance. Baron’s tail wagged like crazy as he looked up at Aunty Betty and the pair of them walked into the light, surrounded by my spirit guides.

Our Journey was over, for now as I knew it at least, but I know he will be back when we are both ready. He was my guardian, protector, best friend and also familiar. To be honest – I don’t know what I did to deserve such an amazing animal companion in my life.

Now, while I compose myself, I will leave you with a quote by Pierre A Riffard (French philosopher and specialist in esotericism) on animal familiars:

“A familiar spirit – (alter ego, doppelgänger, personal demon, personal totem, spirit companion) is the double, the alter-ego, of an individual. It does not look like the individual concerned. Even though it may have an independent life of its own, it remains closely linked to the individual. The familiar spirit can be an animal (animal companion).”

Not all of us are lucky enough to have a companion or animal familiar like Baron, who we get to have such an amazing journey with in life. However, for those who do: cherish them, look after them, and know they are with you in this life, the next and even in-between.

For a dog never really does leave your side, they are the embodiment of unconditional love.
