Many owners are distressed when their beloved pets die and are eager to know if their friends survive death. I can happily report that they do. I’ve lost count of the times spirit animals have returned through my mediumship to their beloved masters and mistresses. In most cases they bring a tremendous feeling of warmth and gratitude for the concern and love shown to them when on earth.
When animals have shared a close bond with us they’ve been helped into a greater awareness of their individuality, which in turn assures not only their survival but also their spirit return. Even creatures other than domestic pets live on into eternity.
At a meeting in Yorkshire, England, an elderly spirit miner contacted his niece in the audience with some good news. ‘Uncle Ernie’ asked her, ‘How’s it going, lass?’
‘Tell him I’m fine,’ she called out.
‘Good,’ he replied to me. ‘Eh, you’ll never guess who I’ve got over here wi’ me, lass? Remember old Nellie and Jessie?’
‘Oh, yes!’ exclaimed his niece. ‘They were the two pit-ponies he took care of down the mines.’
‘That’s them,’ he returned. ‘And can you remember, lass: they were down’t pit for so long that when they retired t’surface, they were both blind as bats?’
‘Yes, I do remember,’ she said. ‘He loved those ponies as though they were his own children.’
At this Uncle Ernie beamed and called out joyously to me, ‘Well lass, I still love ’em I do! And what do you think? They can both see now.’
When I looked around the hall nearly everyone’s eyes had misted up.
