Have you ever wondered what life is like for your beloved deceased pet(s) on the other side of the Rainbow Bridge?
Many of you have heard of the Native American legend that when you die you go to the rainbow bridge and all the animals you have had a relationship with will be on the other side and decide whether or not to let you in.
The Native Americans revered animals and whenever they killed one, they always did a prayer ceremony and used every part of the animal to survive. Nothing was wasted and they often took the name or felt the animal was a part of them.
In today’s world, we love our animals for their sweet personalities and dedication. When one of our pets dies, a part of us goes with it. Although we may not see or experience spirit life, as long as we have a spirit animal, we are connected to spirit rainbow life.
Everything I talk about I have personally experienced. So sometimes I give names to things that may not be what others call them, but again come from what I’ve seen or experienced. I learned several decades ago how to astral project and often go into spirit. I will visit and see my human and animal loved ones and visit the loved ones of my clients.
Everything I present here comes from my own experiences communicating with deceased pets, including my own, and from my journeys into the spirit world.
Animals and our human loved ones reside in a space where they can interact with each other and, at the same time, they can observe and visit us.
The best way to describe the other side “Heaven” or “through the Rainbow Bridge” is to imagine it as a world without life and death.
All animals live in peace and harmony with each other. It’s like the statement in the Bible about the lamb lying down with the lion. There is no fighting as there is perfect peace. Your special guardian angels provide you with everything you need. They have their own special little places to be. You are not required to do anything except enjoy your spiritual life. The vibration in the spirit world is so intense that you see objects vibrating with colors beyond our dimension.
Your pet is there having a wonderful time and young and healthy once again.
They visit you frequently and their love for you will never die. They know you love them and they see you cry and cry for them. When they really want you to see what a wonderful place they are. If you could see it through his eyes, you would cry with joy. Talk to your pet and ask him to show you where he is. You may see this in a dream, but trust that the spirit world allows you to see the beauty of life on the rainbow bridge.
While it may seem far away, it really seems to be here, just vibrating at a different frequency.
Many people have lived the experience of being in this other world when they die and can return. There are countless experiences that have been documented through medical and other means.
Throughout my life my closest relationships have been with animals. I was always able to communicate with them and they with me. As my spiritual gifts developed, I found that I could communicate with the deceased. I first began communicating professionally with deceased human loved ones. Then I started communicating with deceased pets and found that to be more natural and easier for me.
One of the first channels I did for someone was for their rabbit that had passed away. I was amazed at how much the bunny communicated and how happy it made his human father to know that they were well cared for in the spirit world.
Over the next several months, I would connect with animals that had died. I discovered that living animals can also communicate telepathically.
Animals that have passed away can interact with our other animals that have passed away, as well as our human spirit loved ones. It doesn’t matter if you never meet in person.
Three years ago my beloved cat Isis passed away and I went with her to the spirit and we stood at the entrance of the Rainbow Bridge. On the other side I could see my father carrying my dog Julia that he had loved so much. Isis had never met my father, but when she saw him she ran toward him across the bridge and jumped onto her other arm. The three of them stood on the other side of the bridge looking at me as if to say that we will be here when your time comes.
Animals that remain with us physically can see and interact with those who have passed on, however they will continue to grieve the loss of physical presence even though they are able to connect with the spirit of the animals that are gone.
A dear friend of mine had a cat die and she wanted to know if her other cats were still seeing it. I asked her cat Roscoe if he missed the other cat Frankie. Roscoe replied, “No, because I still see him and talk to him.”
Some of the most frequent questions I am asked are the following:
Can my animals that are still here see my animals that have passed?
The answer is yes
Can my animal come back to me through reincarnation and spend another lifetime with me?
Usually the answer is no, it seems that our loved ones from the past want to stay in the spirit until we can join them. This allows everything to complete so that all parties involved can close the process. Animals are the pure essence of love and have no karmic debt to pay. They don’t usually come back and if they do it’s possible that we won’t connect with them. Many people will say that they are sure that their current pet is the reincarnation of the previous one. Generally it is the deceased pet communicating to the new pet what it remembers and what we, its parents, like and know.
However, many times our animals from the past will influence the behavior of our new animals or the ones they left behind and we may pick up little bits of their personality. In other words, it is possible for a new animal to channel the behaviors of an animal that has passed on.
I am often asked if the animals that have passed will be jealous of any new animal that is brought into the house.
Not at all. What I hear is that your departed animals are happy when you are happy, and they don’t want to deny another animal the joy of living with you. This is especially true with animals that were adopted from shelters and rescued from bad situations.
Animals that have passed through are able to see, hear and feel whatever we pass through.
I am often asked “Does my animal still hurt?” and as they leave the physical body behind, the spirit is free from pain. However, they may experience emotional pain when they see our unhappiness over their passing. The more at peace we are with their passing, the easier it will be for them to be around us in spirit.
Many people I talk to feel responsible for the death of their pet. This is not true. If you took your pet to the vet for health problems and the vet tells you that the pet needs surgery or some other treatment, you are making the right choice at this time. If your pet dies during the procedure, she won’t be angry or reproachful because she acted in good faith and is doing what she thought was right to prolong her life. What really matters is what the intention was.
Sometimes people ask me if moving out of the home the animal was familiar with will cause them to stay in the old home or get lost trying to find their new home.
Once an animal passes by, it is as mobile as it wants to be and can cover great distances with little or no effort. Connecting with you in your new home is not a challenge for them. They will not be left behind in their old home.
Euthanasia is often difficult for pet parents. No one wants to lose someone they love, but if your pet is hurting, the right thing to do is to let them into the spirit. Don’t feel guilty if you have to put your animal to sleep. You have allowed them to be free again! They are themselves young and healthy in spirit and will thank you for sending them free. Don’t feel guilty.
Life on the other side of the Rainbow Bridge is beautiful and heavenly. It’s a part of heaven/spirit and there’s no way your pet couldn’t be happy in this beautiful setting. Remember that they will be there to greet you when you pass. They will never forget you because you were the love of their life.
