As retold
by my friend and animal communicator colleague Sam Louie
Queen Draupadi
and the Pandava brothers went on a pilgrimage up the heights on the Himalayas
to the abode of God. On the way, the queen and four of the brothers died:
they were not sufficiently pure to be able to enter heaven in their human
bodies. Only Yudhisthira, the royal saint, journeyed on, accompanied by
his faithful dog.
When they reached
heaven, Indra, the king of gods, told him that the dog could not come
in. Yudhisthira replied that, if this was so, he would stay outside heaven
too; for he could not bring himself to desert any creature which loved
and trusted him and wished for his protection. Finally, after a long argument,
Indra rewarded the man's dedication to his dog and admitted both of them
into heaven. At this point the dog was revealed as Dharma himself, the
path of spirituality.
Many of us already
know this--that loving animals can be a path to God. I have been privileged
to talk with many animals and their people near the time of animals' deaths
and after their deaths, and wanted to create a sacred space to honor them
here. Though there are many wonderful pet
loss web sites I recommend where memorials can be posted for animals,
this is a special place for some of the animals I have been blessed to
come to know personally through work with my human clients.
If you have been
a client of mine and would like to have a memorial of any of your animals
included here, please e-mail
the information and we'll be delighted to post it here.
Namaste'

orphan labeled as “too old and too ugly” to be adopted – had the
ability to love unconditionally.
Sweet Princess
– for the times I ignored you, for the times I was away – how
I wish I could have back even one minute of that time. I thought
I had rescued you when the truth is that you are the one who saved
me. I would trade the rest of my life on earth just to be with
you again. But just as it was your time to go, I guess my job
is to stay – for now. Look for me, as I look for you in every
moment of every day –

All my beautiful
little girl asked for was some food, and my lap to sleep in. In
return she gave me all the love in her heart. When she grew older
and couldn't jump very easily, she would reach up her arms to
me, begging to be picked up and held close for a long long time.
Her purrs were unceasing - even in her sleep when I would touch
her. How I wish I could hear her again.
A promise
to my beloved Cecily Jane:
I will miss
you always.
I will love you forever.
Forever and always
My baby you'll be.

friend of Jim Babb
Left behind,
wild child on my doorstep, so long ago. Something
happened between us that day, binding our fates.
You watched
me struggle to piece together my own life, while you lived out
yours, entire: Hunting, fishing, investigating everything. Searching
for joy, lazing in the sun.
Eyes barely
open, you already knew how to live! I
should have paid more attention.
Thank you
for staying by my side, until I finally found the right path.
I won't forget.

We all miss
you sweet Adrian.
Jules seems lost without you.
You were and are so very special.
I'll miss telling you to "get the ball" before you go to bed at
night and the way you always used to hide behind the pillows.
You have left so many wonderful memories.
Thank you so much my sweet girl.
Now you
are free.
You will be in our hearts forever.

A big part
of me died the day you died, but I believe that your soul lives
on. And I hope that you are sitting on my shoulder with Adrian,
so we can all be together until Mommy can join you in the afterlife.
And if you have moved on to be reborn, please come back to me.
Mommy loves you soooooo much, Don't ever forget.
I am so
sorry I didn't recognize that you were sick.
If only you could have told me.
I would have done anything for you Whit.
Mommy is burying you with your birdy buddy because I know how
much you loved him.
I love you
sweet babboo.
You will live in my heart forever.

I am the Queen
of all cats, of all time, and am now learning to be humble. ~
Misha
Misha was and
is a light being of incredible power. We are life partners, in this
life and in many others before this. It is a partnership of equals
with the common goal to evolve to our highest selves. We helped
each other thru many difficulties in this life and are still working
together now. She is growing and so am I. I start each day with
her in my thoughts and her blessing in mine. I love her and she
has taught me so much about unconditional love. She is always here
for me and I am always here for her. With Teresa's help we "talk"
every few months. She brings so much love and information to me.
I can't explain to most people what it is like to be so loved and
respected. I miss the physical body of her, but I am never alone.
She is with me always. We will be together again soon...
You see true
love never dies.

We will love
him forever. He was our first cat, and perfect in every way. He
was the light of our life - beautiful, graceful, affectionate, funny,
often downright silly, and the reason for all the cats who came
since. But we shall never see his like again.

Precious life-partner of Diane Wilson, Pacific Grove, California
She and I were sisters, best friends, and soulmates who understood each other and respected each other as equals. Her dignity and wisdom were awe-inspiring, and her zany sense of humor never failed to force me out of a bad mood. Her incredible beauty and grace amazed me anew each day, and I never took her love for granted. I count the days until I can be with her again.
To My Chloe —
You are the light of my life
and the love of my life.
You are the music in my heart
and my heart's darling
Gentle
Spirit
Let
thoughts of peace waft softly through our hearts
Let the light of our candles bring gentle memories of our
love
Let the glow of love guide our days, in all our moments.
As
we cry,
As we smile,
As we walk on,
As we carry within us the legacy of love we received;
Knowing
the love we gave,
Living in the presence of their spirit
With
us -
wherever
we go,
however we are,
at dawn and at dusk
and the deep hours of the night.
