In my July blog, I shared with you that I was grieving the death of my dog, Jacob. All those who had an in-person session with me had the opportunity to meet Jacob. He loved people and was the official greeter. It has been fourteen weeks and three days since Jacob left this dimension. Within this time, I needed to grieve his physical presence in my life. Many people told me that they could not understand my sadness since I could communicate with his spirit. I explained that yes, communication is wonderful, but I was not ready; I needed to grieve the life that we had on Earth before I could embrace his spirit. I told Jacob right from the beginning that I wanted him to enjoy his new spirit body, but I needed time before I could share his peace and joy. In time, I would be okay.
Each day is getting easier, and I can now welcome Jacob’s spirit into my life. Jacob has been quite happy with my decision because he needed time to transition into his spirit body. In life, Jacob loved spending time in the bedroom over the garage. He had a clear view of the front of the house. When I pulled the car into the garage, he would bark at the window before he would meet me at the door. A few weeks ago, I got out of my car after parking in the garage, and I heard him barking. At first, I was stunned; I lost all sense of time. I walked out of the garage and looked up at the window to see if I could see the white line down his face, which was always unmistakable. I could not. As I looked up, the barking became softer until it slowly stopped. I realized then he was letting me know that he was still watching over me.
Another interesting fact is that when I meditate now, I see my childhood dog, Skippy. In all the years of meditation, I have never seen Skippy. I see my mother’s spirit with Skippy. She loved Skippy! My mother was the catalyst to bring Jacob into our lives. She loved Jacob, and Jacob instantly loved her. She would repeatedly say, “I love Jacob even more than Skippy.” Once I came to understand that Skippy and Jacob are the same soul, I can now get a glimpse of Jacob sitting at my feet.
My healing has begun. If you have a story that you would like to contribute, please email it to me so I can share it to help others heal.
