One of the most difficult parts of animal guardianship is the moment we have to say goodbye to our best friends.
Though we know they will always be around us, it is important to recognize the transition from the physical to the Rainbow Bridge is a tiring journey for any soul.
The emotion in both the animal and the human is very intense. When I do these readings I feel it so deeply, it is so emotional.
Animals of course don’t want to see their guardians sad. They understand the grief, but since they are more spiritually evolved than we are, they see this moment of “death” differently. That is why they don’t even like to use the words “death” or “die”.
They are, in their words, making a journey to the Rainbow Bridge. They are transitioning back to spirt.
So in the final moments (another human term), there are some comforting words you can say to your pet, through your tears and your grief. Speak softly and with a voice as calm as you can be.
These phrases will help your animal start their journey free from the burdens the physical life puts on them.

“Safe travels on your beautiful journey, dear friend. “
“Thank you. I love you. You have been the biggest blessing to me.“
“It’s okay to go.” (This one is SO important. The most important. Their loyalty makes it hard for them to go without our permission)
“I’m here with you. I’m not leaving. ” (Again, SO important. They all want and NEED their guardian with them.)
“ My life was better because of you. “
“You are the best boy/girl.”
The moment your pet heads to the Rainbow Bridge is a beautiful moment for them, although it is a painful moment for us. Please use the phrases above. They
will make your pets transition even more beautiful, peaceful, and joyful.
