What Happens When a Pet Dies?
What Happens When a Pet Dies? Tiffany Snow © 2007
When death of a person or an animal is imminent, God lifts the spirit out. This is a place of comfort for us to know, since any images that you have seen of the body going into spasm or destruction before death is not felt by the spirit, since it is not in the body at that time; the body is only reacting on automatic. Before the body hits the ground from a tall building, before the car bursts into flames, before the animal’s throat is torn, before a murder takes place, the final impact is not felt. We never have anything to fear, not even death! God is gracious and kind to all, and though the physical body may not survive, the spirit does, whether animal or human.
Pets are literally part of us. Just as we are a spark off of the Divine
Flame, domesticated animals are smaller sparks off of our own flames.
We are given the choice before coming into these bodies of how many
sparks we wish to let out to become our delegates. Delegates serve a
specific purpose, they are here to teach us more about love, the giving
and receiving of love, balance within these bodies and most certainly
how to play! Delegates take these roles very seriously. Delegates
operate within our own free will, they are a part of us and are here to
help us. They are spirit off our spirit, just as our spirit is off of
God’s. What about the non-domesticated animals or wild animals? These
all belong to God. These are what we can think of as Father’s
delegates. These are the place of love and joy for Father to feel and
experience. It is easy to see how people of all cultures have had
respect for animals in some regard and how those that we think of as
being more spiritual have picked up on the respectful treatment of
animals. When we take care of the wild animals, when we show love and
respect for them, we demonstrate love and respect for the One who
created us all.
Now, when the body of a pet is worn out, when it is time for a pet to
die, it is extremely important to understand that it is only the body
that dies. The spirit of the delegate lifts out and awaits the next new
body that you accept into your life as your pet. The delegate doesn’t
die; it just awaits the next interaction. Depending on how many
delegates you have waiting to come in, the delegate that was in the
body that just died may come right back or may wait while another spark
off of your flame drops in. Either way, it is about God’s Love being
shown to you and you having the opportunity to experience more about
love.
So as the pet is dying, it is important to let them know how great a
job they have done, and that they have taught you a lot and helped you
so much. Letting the pet know that it is okay to die and let go. They
understand so much more than you may think they do. It is important
that you give your pet permission to die. And it is important to
understand that the delegate doesn’t die when the body of your pet
does. Let it soak in and be a comfort to you that the spirit of the
pet, your delegate, will never be separated from you. Remember, they
are a spark from your flame, but the spirit continues on. Sorrow is to
be expected, we miss touching them, hearing them, all the five senses
that were conscious of them in the “real” world now crave and remember
what used to be. After their death, you may even find yourself being
visited by your little one; a familiar sound, an indent on your bed
next to you, warm beside you exactly where they used to be. You may
even catch glimpses out of the corner of your eye, just as you can with
humans that have passed on, and Angels. All these things are very real,
and ways that The Big Guy wants you to be comforted and know that
existence continues on past the body.
Your heart will let you know when to get another pet, and this is a
decision that is not to be made by another person, but by you. Like all
decisions in life, we have two choices, love or fear. Love moves us
forward, fear stagnates and freezes us. If you find yourself not
wanting to get another pet because of the fear of loss again, that is
the wrong way to make a decision. Let love always be your motivating
factor in all things, and follow through on what your spirit and Divine
Spirit is telling you.
It is up to you to choose what kind of body you will be next be giving
your new delegate. It is not necessary to choose a body that has
already been beaten up. Many people gravitate to the animals that are
sickly and in need of love. That is okay, but it is important to
understand that the healthier the body of the animal, the longer the
delegate can be around.
You are in charge of your choices, the type of body for your delegate
or if you want one at all. You will know in your heart if you chose to
have a pet before you came in. You will feel incomplete, and desirous
of having one. This is an issue that cannot be forced. Do you
understand now why during separation or divorce proceedings so much
emotion is focused on pet ownership? With all this information, perhaps
it will help parents to understand the strong desire of children to
have pets as well. It really is not our place to say no to others about
the decision of pet ownership, or even in what domestic form it may
take; though it would show maturity and consideration to weigh factors
such as cost, space, and care with all those involved where the pet
will live. With all of this, remember that love never dies; and neither
does the spirit of your little helpers, your touch-stone to
unconditional love. A pet is a mobile sacred space of love, always
ready to teach you more about who you are, who God is, and who each
other is. Enjoy the love! END
