If you've ever been on the edge of saying goodbye to your beloved animal and suddenly witnessed a surprising burst of energy, you're not alone.

One day they’re withdrawn, tired, not eating… and the next? They seem like their old self again—alert, joyful, even playful. It can feel like a miracle. It can feel like hope. And it can also be confusing, even heartbreaking, if you're already preparing for their transition.

As an Animal Communicator who has walked this road with many clients—and with my own animals—I want you to know:
This is something real. And you're not imagining it.

A Final Gift of Love

It takes an incredible amount of energy for the body to begin the process of releasing the spirit. For many animals, this release doesn’t happen all at once. It unfolds gently, in small increments—like a tide slowly pulling back.

This rise and fall in energy, those “ups and downs,” are part of that sacred rhythm.

And sometimes, there is one final burst of energy or clarity near the end. A rally. A moment where your pet might surprise you by eating again, playing, or wanting to go for a walk.

This is known as a pre-death energy surge in hospice and end-of-life care. It’s well-documented, but when you’re in it, it can feel like a twist in the story you thought you were already writing the ending to.

Signs of Connection and Comfort From Your Pet in the Afterlife:

In the quiet spaces of grief, when the world feels heavy after losing a beloved animal companion, many pet parents find themselves searching for something—anything—to remind them their bond still exists. This deep longing to feel connected, even after a pet's passing, is not just about seeking comfort but honouring the love that never fades. It's a love that transcends life and death, creating a forever connection between you and your pet.

For years, I've worked with people navigating the complex emotions of loss, helping them open their hearts to the signs that their pets are still present, watching over them from the other side. These signs are more than random occurrences—they are heartfelt messages sent by animals to remind us of their love, support, and continued presence.

Below are some tools to help you nurture that sacred bond after your pet has transitioned. May these tools offer insights to help you tune in to the messages your pet may be sending to you to provide comfort and guidance as you move through your grief.

Through my work in animal communication, I've learned that our pets don't simply "leave" us when they pass. They continue to hold space for us in a way that is uniquely theirs, sending signs of their love from the other side. They see us as we move through the pain of their loss and regularly reach out, waiting for the moments when we are open to noticing their signs.

These animals share their experiences with me—how they are around you, supporting you, even when you feel their absence most acutely. They send signs in a way that matches their personality, as if to say, "I'm still here, loving you." They don't become discouraged if you miss their signs. Instead, they patiently send signs and know that when you are ready, you will recognize their presence again. (Ready means in regards to not being blocked by the pain or grief or fleeing of guilt)

The love you share with your pet is eternal, and the connection is still alive. As you move through your grief, you will reach a point where you can see beyond the pain and open up to the subtle signs your pet sends to reassure you that they are still with you.

It is normal to feel disconnected after losing a beloved pet. After they are gone, you deeply long for some connection. There is a strong desire to receive a message from them, as you want to know they are okay.

I want to share three common blocks people experience after their pet's death that keeps them from feeling connected with them in the afterlife and common signs your pet may be trying to send you.

Our pets' perspective of death is different than our own. One reason for this is because they experience a far different reality than ourselves while on this earth. Read this to help ease your mind if you are wondering if your pet is afraid of death or if you are worried about your animals spiritual transition.

Most of us would do anything to feel the presence of our passed pet around us again. I want you to know that yes, you can receive messages from your pet on the other side. But sometimes in your deep pain and grief you have a hard time hearing their messages. Here are 5 steps to open you up to receiving messages from your pet in the afterlife.

When we view our animals as having a soul, we can reach inside for more profound gratitude and appreciation for our time with our beloved pets and the amazing gifts we received. If we remain open to love and gratitude in this time of deep grief, we can walk through our pain from their loss and find courage, healing, and a new self we never knew we had.
