Pet Loss Grief Support & Animal Communication
Loving Resources for Healing Animals and People
It is with profound sadness that we share the passing of our dear Teresa Whalen, who "returned home" on September 22, 2026. She passed peacefully at home, with her beloved KK by her side. KK has been adopted by a family of Teresa's choosing and is settling in well.
Teresa's enduring love for animals, her life's work, and her legacy will continue in many ways. Of utmost importance and concern to Teresa was the continuity of care for her clients. Her plan is for Animals In Our Hearts to continue under the gentle guidance of a close friend and fellow professional animal communicator. Please be patient and keep an eye on this page – it will take a bit of time to complete the details.
Teresa had so many friends and clients, animals and human, who love her dearly. She treasured each and every one of you, and she felt lucky that she was able to do this sacred work for over 30 years. Teresa was the embodiment of love, compassion, wisdom, and hope. We love you, Teresa.
A Loving Welcome ~
Those of us fortunate enough to love and be loved by an animal know the exquisite joy and deep fulfillment that comes from animals living in our hearts. We know there is no turning back from loving animals wholeheartedly once we experience this bond.
Animals and their love stay in our souls, once we've let them in. And we are better for it, more complete, more whole, more compassionate, and often transformed. In loving so much, we open ourselves to profound intimacy, the searing pain of loss, and the growth that comes from both.
Loving this much, we may also know the tremendous passion and commitment as well as the frustration, overwhelm and compassion fatigue inherent in animal rescue and activism from ongoing exposure to negligence and cruelty to animals.
The content on this site, including descriptions of available grief counseling, animal communication consultations, books, CDs and classes on animal communication and healing, grief and loss, and resources for sacred activism are designed to help us deepen our spiritual intimacy with animals, resolve problems with and honor animals, assuage the suffering of animals, heal from the pain of losing animal companions and from being witness to the suffering and loss of animals in the environment, and to celebrate with like minded people the joy of our miraculous, spiritual connection with all animals.
I wish each of you and the animals you love and serve many blessings, much love and grace. May this web site serve you in your life journey with animals.
With Love and Blessings,
Teresa Whalen (formerly Wagner)
