Losing a beloved pet is heart-breaking and incredibly difficult to deal with. I know this firsthand as a pet parent but I also see the challenges that other pet guardians experience too.
As an animal communicator, I feel so much love connecting with animals in the afterlife and am grateful that I can support grieving pet pet parents. I truly believe that the bond we share with our pets never truly ends. Our animal companions continue to watch over us with love, even after they pass.
What is an Animal Communicator (or Pet Medium)?
As an animal communicator, I connect with pets through thoughts, emotions, and mental images. Words are not always necessary to understand their messages — instead, I tune into their energy and feelings. Whether your pet passed recently or many years ago, I can connect with their spirit to help you feel their presence once again.
How Can talking to a Pet Medium Help You?
Losing a pet can feel like being caught in a whirlwind of emotions — sadness, anger, guilt, and confusion. What makes this even harder is that others may not fully understand what you’re going through. Even within families, while everyone is grieving, you may focus more on comforting others than on your own pain. In some cases, you may hide your grief because you don’t want to add to the worries of those around you.
Speaking with an animal communicator can provide a deep sense of comfort. It’s not just about connecting with your pet — it’s also about sharing your emotions with someone who truly understands your pain and wants to help you heal. Talking to someone who listens without judgment can feel like lifting a heavy weight off your heart.
So, how exactly can this help you heal?
1. Find out how your animal is doing
When our pets cross over, we may ask ourselves: Are they okay now? Were they scared or alone? But from the countless conversations I have had with animals, they always say they are safe, happy, and peaceful on the other side. They aren’t focused on their final days before crossing over. They want to express gratitude for the love they experienced and let us know they still feel that love. And they will do anything to comfort us and help us move on.
2. Hear special messages from your pet
Our pets are always excited to hear from us and share meaningful messages. They may talk about all the wonderful moments you shared, their favorite toys, and all those things that made them feel special. These messages aren’t just general messages, they talk about all sorts of things and go into a lot of detail so that you do not doubt that they are still with you in spirit.
3. Let go of Guilt and Regret
If you are struggling with guilt, wondering if you could have done more. Know that your animals understand that everything happened just the way it was supposed to. They are not upset with you, and don’t blame you for anything. They know you would never hurt them which is why they bring through such heartfelt and loving messages to help us move through the feelings of guilt and regret. Our animals are little angels, full of unconditional love, understanding, and compassion, and know just how difficult their passing has been and they understand that difficult choices have been made too. Hearing things from our animal’s perspective can help us replace feelings of guilt with peace.

4. Remember the Happy times with your pet
Your beloved pet doesn’t want you to stay stuck in sadness. They want you to remember the happy memories. Those lazy afternoons on the couch to family trips and adventures together. These reminders keep their memory alive and can help us let go of the memories that replay in our minds of their final moments here on earth. Even from the afterlife, they know just what to say to cheer us up and help us feel better no matter what is going on around us.

5. feel hope for the future
Did you know that many pets continue to stay close to their humans even after they pass? Some continue supporting you from the other side while others choose to return to the same family in a new body. I’ve had pets describe their plans to return, sharing information about their new appearance including their breed, species, special markings, and when and where they will return so that you can find them.

- Did My Pet and I Have a Soul Contract? Pets and their humans are often connected by something deeper. You may have a soul contract that brings you together for growth and healing, or even to help you through tough times.
- Will My Pet Reincarnate? Many pets choose to return to the same family. I’ve seen pets share messages about their return, often describing their new appearance, and personality or providing details on how you can find them.
What Makes a Great Pet Medium?
It is important to know that not all animal communicators are good at connecting with pets in the afterlife. And not all pet mediums are the same. Connecting with animals requires your ability to raise your awareness of the spirit world to effortlessly bring through messages from the afterlife. Other important qualities include compassion, empathy, and sensitivity. The best communicators focus on healing, kindness, and respect for both pets and their human families.
How to Find the Right Pet Medium

Final Thoughts: Healing in Your Own Way
Grieving the loss of a pet is deeply personal, and there’s no “right” way to cope. Whether you connect with your pet through a medium, write letters to them, or speak to them in your thoughts, what matters most is finding comfort in your connection.
Your pet’s love is eternal. They are still part of your life, wagging their tail, purring by your side, or hopping with excitement in your heart. And I know, without a doubt, that they will always love, your bond really does continue into the afterlife.
