It's no different when we lose our treasured animal companions. We want some confirmation that they are okay, that they didn't suffer in the process of making their out-of-body transitions, and that they know we love and miss them terribly, even if it's only been hours or days since they left our loving arms. We ache to know how they are doing, and we feel we can't wait.
But when it comes to scheduling a consultation with an animal who has just died, I suggest that my clients do wait, at least for a few weeks, to allow the torrent of tears and torment to abate a bit, and to give the animal's spirit the space and time it may need to acclimate to a new reality.
And so I was interested to learn that respected Medium John Holland says the same thing. I've been reading his book, Born Knowing, in which he says:
"Until you've dealt with your bereavement, you shouldn't think about
making a connection right away. . .I also believe that the newly arrived
spirit needs their own adjustment time before they're ready to send
any messages."
John is speaking about people, of course, but I think the same advice applies to our animals in spirit. The healing and comfort you can receive from a session in which they paint vivid pictures of their earthly memories can bring healing and comfort even if you wait, just a little while, before you ask me to make the connection. The animals with whom you joyously shared your life will still be there for you, no matter how much time has gone by.

You'll have an opportunity to connect with departed animals and people at the upcoming Conference on Animals in the Afterlife, when Joanne Gerber will be doing live, spontaneous spirit readings for members of the audience. You won't want to miss it.
