You were never masters, but friends. I was your friend. I loved you well, and was loved.   Deep
love endures to the end and far past the end. If this is my end, I am not lonely. I am not afraid.   
I am still yours.
          ---Robinson Jeffers
Our most challenging moments with our animal companions are near the end of our time together For us, it is a painful end to an
earthly journey, but if we believe this is end of our relationship,  we rob ourselves and our animals of  our greater and everlasting
spiritual bond.  Animals know the physical world is a temporary and minor stop on the spiritual journey, and want us to know we
don't have to say
goodbye.   Loving your animal friend by hearing and honoring its final wishes is a blessing to you both.

Too often, at the end of an animal's life,  people berate themselves with  questions stemming from doubt and fear:
Did I do enough
to help him? How did I miss his pain? Does she know how much I loved her? Was there more I could have done? Is it my
fault? Is she angry? Does he forgive me?  Did I wait too long?

A communication session with your animals dispels fear and doubt, making the transition a loving, intimate experience for both of
you.  It eases your mind as you learn your animal's true wishes and begin to release your own undeserved  feelings of fear and guilt.  

I help  clients through grief counseling, memorializing pets through  ritual and ceremony, and communicating with animals after they
depart the earthly plane.
