The holidays can be a delightful time or a sad time.  When we experience the loss of a loved one,  we feel it so much more acutely during the Holidays.  In the past couple of months I have helped a few dear one's make the transition to the other side, human and animal.  What I have come to learn over the past decade of working with the spirit of animals and people, is that there is no death.  That's it...there is no death of the spirit, only of the body.  I have been told that it feels like taking off a tight suit (or bra) there is a deep breath and a great release of discomfort. 

Last year I had a vision or dream ....I dreamed that I was in a swimming pool.  By the side of the pool stood a man and two women. The man was Azrael, the Archangel that takes us to the other side.  He asked if I was ready, and I said I was.  Together we went to the bottom of the pool where I exhaled a few times till I was breathing water.  He said, "Okay, lets go."

We got out of the pool, and he walked through the wall and I went through the door.  On the other side there was a bright sunny field, brighter and more beautiful than words can convey.  A large group of people came up towards me with great happiness on their faces. I felt I knew them but was not sure.  They seemed somewhat disappointed that I did not quite remember them.  There was music and a grand feast happening.  My two Irish wolfhounds, that had passed away, ran up to me to greet me.  Oh ...so much joy!  

My grandmother was there also.  She asked me if I wanted to stay, I replied that I felt that I had to go back, that I had more to do.  I had great sadness in my heart, but I had to leave.

I walked back towards the door and re-entered the pool area.  It was then I awoke.

I believe I was given a vision of what is to come-a vision of my heaven.  If I could only express to you the joy I felt, you would no longer fear death, or be sad for the lost of an earthbound loved one.  Our time here is short, but our spirits are eternal, and you will be together again very soon.

Here is one of my Horse Wisdom cards 

Horse Angels 

The ones that you love and have lost to

the other side are never really gone.

They are there and also here. Your loved

ones send you their blessings and support all

the time. When you suddenly think of someone

who has left this earth, or have a dream about

someone long gone, they are sending you a

message that they are with you and loving you.

There is no “good-bye;” only

“I’ll see you later.”
