The 6 Simple Steps to Get Messages From Your Departed Pets

After your pet leaves this world they transform from having a physical experience into an energetic experience. Everything they do after the moment of physical death is now governed by their thoughts and intention.  For instance, if they want to relax on the sofa with you all they have to do is decide that is what they want and they will immediately join you on the sofa. If they want to go to the beach or the mountains or follow you around the house all they have to do is make up their minds to do so.

Your success is based on trust and setting your intention
Just like in your dreams at night, all movement and communication are controlled telepathically. Connecting with them is simple since we are also energetic beings. Your pets can sense your thoughts telepathically and because they love you so much they are always near. All you need to do is make up your mind to connect with them, follow the simple steps below, and watch for their signs.

The 6 Simple Steps to Connect with a Departed Pet:
Before any communication with the spirit realm, it is imperative to properly surround yourself in a protective bubble of White Light. In a reverent manner, say a prayer of protection such as my favorite:
“As we enter into this sacred space I invite (pet’s name) to join me as I surround us all in Divine Light. I ask that the messages I am about to receive be of the highest possible vibration serving the highest and best good for all involved, allowing only energies of the Light to come through.”
Step 1
Gaze at your pet’s photo or close your eyes and imagine they are right next to you. Tell your pet out loud or quietly in your mind that you would like to feel them near you or get a message from them.

Step 2
Ask for a BIG SIGN! Tell your pet to make it an obvious message from them and tell them that you are open to whatever they send.

Step 3
Trust what comes to you in any form. It may happen immediately or it may take some time as you learn to quiet your mind.

Step 4
Ask them to join you during your dreams and imagine you are surrounding them with loving hugs, affection, and positive energy

Step 5 
Avoid feeling guilty, sad, remorseful, or full of regrets. That can cause an immediate disconnect. Be excited if you see something, feel something, or know something! The more excitement you show the more signs you will receive.

Common Mistakes You Must Avoid …

The biggest mistakes most people make is they disregard and doubt the messages from their departed pets. They don’t trust the feelings or images, they think it is their overactive imagination or just wishful thinking. Don’t to that!

Helpful hints…

Stay open, loving, inviting, and positive for the best results. Your departed pet needs a lot of energy to send you a message. Give your pet a fuel source so they have something to draw upon such as any of the following:

  1. Crystals such as quartz, amethyst, or selenite (fully cleansed and charged)
  2. A battery pack – Yes, you heard right! I keep a large pack of fresh batteries on my desk to provide fuel to the spirits during my sessions.
  3. Smudge yourself and your home with palo santo or sage to clear any negative or unwanted energy and enhance clear communication
  4. Be in a balanced state of mind emotionally, physically, and spiritually.

Step 6
The most important step of all is to keep their memory alive and say their name often. It is like music to their ears. Remember, make their life more important than their death. Celebrate the magic you shared together no matter how long or short it was.

    I so wish to communicate with my deceased dogs, four Akitas and one, scary-smart German Shorthair Pointer/Labrador Retriever mix. They were all loved and missed terribly. I am encouraged that our pets survive physical death. I have proof that they do through my many Astral travels, aside from traveling astrally, my age has reduced my ability to travel in the Astral realms. Prior to reading Karen’s comments, I didn’t know how to connect with them in the physical, and I am very interested in viewing her online information further!

    • Karen Anderson says:

      Hi Andrew,
      I am so sorry for all of your losses. It sounds like you have quite a few fur companions on the Other Side. They do indeed continue on in spirit form as will we one day. Astral projection is fascinating and I would love to hear more!
      With love and light,
      xoxo Karen

    Karen,
    I cannot read your email without crying. Only five months have passed and her departure is still fresh. I still feel guilty that I had her put down.
    I want to follow your instructions but cannot do it without getting emotional and crying…
    I cannot look at her picture without crying.
    I buried her myself, and I tell everyone I want to be buried next to her.
    Don’t care if this seems irrational. or sane…
    Gary Hincman

    • Karen Anderson says:

      My dear Gary,
      I cannot imagine how difficult it is for you and how much you must miss your sweet girl.
      It is absolutely normal to feel this way. Grief is a personal journey and we all experience it differently.
      Deep grief, such as yours, is a reflection of the powerful bond you shared and the deep love between you.
      It makes perfect sense that you wish to be near her. Many people have instructions in their final Will and Testament to be buried beside their beloved pets.
      It is easier said than done but overwhelming feelings of guilt no longer serve either of you and if you need help releasing those feelings please reach out to a professional grief counselor.
      Our pets do not hold us responsible when we help them transition by euthanasia. Quite the reverse is true. They are grateful we helped them when their body failed.
      No one wants to be a body that is failing. She knows you made the best decision you could from your heart when she needed you the most. I’m sure she is grateful beyond words for all you did on her behalf.
      Trust that she is alive and well in spirit and wants nothing more than to see that you have released your pain, guilt, and grief and are moving forward into a place of healing.
      With love and healing hugs…
      xoxo Karen

    Hi Karen
    You have been such a gift To me over many years. I’ve had several sessions with you and have loved each and everyone. My kitty Callie is dying right now it has been quite a humbling process. Each day more and more so. My draft horse Cody is lame in the barn. And I am a bit beside myself. So receiving this email from you today was just what the doctor ordered. Thank you so much for doing what you do. I am forever in your debt

    • Karen Anderson says:

      Oh, Jan,
      We have known each other for such a long time, haven’t we? It has been such an honor to know you and all of your sweet babies!
      I am so very sorry you are going through this difficult time. My heart breaks for you. It is a time we wish we could turn the clocks back and get all those years back again.
      The animals call this time before they leave their body their ‘Twilight Time’ and during this time which may be hours, days, or weeks, they may have some really good days mixed with not so good days.
      It is a sacred time that they share with very few so it is a blessing to share this with them.
      In the wild, they go off by themselves and separate from their pack, herd, or flock. It is a survival technique to ensure they don’t draw in predators to the others. During this sacred Twilight Time, they prepare themselves for their next journey into the spiritual realm. In the meantime, your loved ones on the Other Side both human and animal, begin to gather to greet the new arrival.
      For the animals, it is a time of peace, calm, and even bursts of energy that make them feel young again. It is Mother Nature’s way of giving them a big boost of energy for the road ahead.
      Although it may seem like a sad time for us, it is actually a time for celebration, a time to remember the special moments, beautiful memories, and all the love you shared together.
      When they finally make their transition, know that you have helped them leave this Earth the same way they entered it…with dignity and grace.
      With big hugs and love, love, love always…
      xoxo Karen

  4. Ronnie White says:

    Karen, I read your book and was very touched. I lost my girl dog Pearl this past Easter weekend a very unexpected loss. She was a little over 12 yrs old and in very good health until something unknown to the vets took her away; she was very special because my wife brought her home and just a few months after she brought her home my wife was diagnosed with cancer and died in Jan. 2008.
    I love my Pearl with all my heart and miss her so much every day. I’m going to try communicating with her as much as I can, there have been a few times when strange things have happened and I truly believe it came from my dog. I pray every night that when it’s my time to leave earth that God will lift me up and take me to the Rainbow Bridge where I will find her and my wife and we’ll be together for eternity.

    • Karen Anderson says:

      I am so sorry for all of your losses, Ronnie. I’m sure Pearl is right there letting you know she is alive and well in spirit. Pearl and your wife are part of your soul group and they will be there waiting for you when your time here on Earth has come to a close. We will all be reunited with those we have loved and lost. I’m so glad my book has helped you on your journey into healing.

    Hi Karen….I see evidence of my little Italian Greyhound in the clouds…in random photos on FB and even as we were peeling and repainting our deck..how odd it seems that I see profiles of Jak everywhere…just randon profiles…clouds, etc and even when I was driving home from a rescue transport….I looked up and saw a profile in the clouds…I miss him so…he was my heart dog and I do have 4 more here with me that I love dearly and no less than Jak…but he was my bud!!! I hope one day to be able to talk to you about him and my other crazy ones that are gone and waiting for me!

    • Karen Anderson says:

      That is wonderful! I have seen similar signs in the clouds and it is so special when that happens. Profiles, images, name references, they are all signs!

  6. JoAnn Stephens says:

    It is just a year since losing my beloved Luke and I have many other very loved pets that have gone before him.
    Luke and I had such a strong bond he followed me everywhere. My biggest regret is that I was not in the room with him when they euthanized him. I was not in good shape at the time and it was suggested that I not be since it would be upsetting to him.
    I feel like I abandoned him at the end and cannot forgive myself for that. I look at his picture and talk to him every day. I have his ashes and his favorite bear right next to my bed where he always laid with me.
    I am now close to losing the dog who grew up with him and my heart is breaking.

    • Karen Anderson says:

      I am so sorry for the loss of your beloved Luke.
      I can’t imagine what you are going through and how difficult this has been for you. Please accept my heartfelt condolences for your loss and I’m so sorry to hear you are close to losing another dog. It is just so hard even for me.
      It is never too late to say goodbye or to apologize for not being with him in those final moments. He can hear your words, feel your emotions, and sense your grief. Those final moments don’t matter. What matters is the love you shared and the beautiful life you had together. Try to make his life more important than his death and redirect the focus of your guilt toward a positive memory.
      Animals do not focus on the moment of death as we do. They rarely mention it and it is nothing more than a tiny blip over the course of their life.
      I’m sure Luke knows you were too overwhelmed to be there and that you did not want to make things any worse for him.
      If he were mine, I would extend my love and apologies for not being there and do my best to move forward into healing.
      Harboring those thoughts doesn’t serve either of you any longer. I’ll bet Luke wants you to live a full and happy life knowing he is right by your side.

  7. MY 13-YEAR-OLD CAT GRAZEE PASSED AWAY BACK ON MAY 3RD 2019.
    I USED TO AND STILL DO SING OUR SONG FOR HER THAT GOES LIKE THIS: YOUR MY ONE AND ONLY ANGEL CAT, YOUR MY ONE AND ONLY GRAZEE THE CAT!
    THEN I WOULD LAY MY HEAD ON HER AND RUB IT AGAINST HER BECAUSE I HAD READ THAT CATS RUB THEMSELVES UP AGAINST OTHER CATS TO SHOW THEY ARE PART OF THEIR PACK AND THAT THEY BELONG TO ONE ANOTHER. WHEN I WOULD DO THIS WITH HER SHE WOULD LIE DOWN AND START PURRING.
    SHE WAS MY EVERYTHING AND THE ONLY THING THAT REALLY MATTERED TO ME. I HAVE PTSD, I’M BIPOLAR ALONG WITH SOME OTHER MENTAL DISABILITIES AND CHALLENGES. SHE WOULD ALWAYS BE THERE WHEN I WOULD HAVE NIGHTMARES AND EITHER WAKE ME UP OR BE THERE LOOKING AT ME WHEN I OPENED MY EYES, THEN SHE WOULD RUB HER HEAD AGAINST ME AND START PURRING AND INSTANTLY I WOULD RELAX AND BE COMFORTED. IT’S BEEN A LITTLE OVER THREE MONTHS NOW AND I STILL BREAK DOWN CRYING MOSTLY AT NIGHT WHEN I’M IN BED.
    I HAVE TO BE THE LUCKIEST MAN IN THIS WORLD, BECAUSE TWO MONTHS TO THE DATE SHE PASSED AWAY ON JULY 3RD 2019 SHE APPEARED TO ME AS A WHITE GLOWING BALL OF LIGHT AND TALKED TO ME.
    I WAS IN BED AND STARTED CRYING AGAIN AS I HAVE BEEN DOING EVERY DAY AND NIGHT SINCE SHE PASSED AWAY, AND AS I LIE THERE IN BED ABOVE ME I SAW A WHITE GLOWING IMAGE. I GOT OUT OF BED TO SEE IF IT WAS A REFLECTION FROM SOME LIGHT SOMEWHERE BUT THERE WAS NOTHING THAT COULD BE CAUSING IT. AS I LIE THERE AND STARE AT IT I BEGAN TO SEE THE OUTLINE OF A CATS FACE.
    IT WAS MY GRAZEE CAT AND SHE STARTED COMMUNICATING WITH ME TELLING ME NOT TO BE SAD AND SHE SAID LOOK, UNCLE DON, LOOK AT WHAT I CAN DO, AND THEN SHE DID A BACKWARDS SOMMERSALT. SHE MADE ME LAUGH AND I TOLD HER YOU COULDN’T EVEN DO THAT WHEN YOU WERE ALIVE. THEN I STARTED TO CRY AGAIN AND SHE DID ANOTHER SOMMERSALT AND I STARTED LAUGHING AGAIN. SHE DID THAT SEVERAL MORE TIMES WHEN I’D START TO CRY AGAIN.
    BY THE WAY, UNCLE DON IS WHAT MY MOM WOULD ALWAYS CALL ME.
    SHE TALKED TO ME FOR ABOUT TWO HOURS UNTIL I FINALLY WENT TO SLEEP. I EVEN GOT UP TO GET SOME WATER AND EACH TIME I ASKED HER TO PLEASE STAY AND NOT LEAVE AND SHE WAS STILL THERE EACH TIME WHEN I GOT BACK TO BED. I COULDN’T HAVE BEEN DREAMING BECAUSE AS I SAID I GOT OUT OF BED TWICE TO MAKE SURE I WASN’T DREAMING.
    SHE ALSO EXPLAINED TO ME THAT SHE WAS JUST LEARNING TO TELECOMMUNICATE AND THAT’S WHY A COUPLE TIMES I COULDN’T UNDERSTAND WHAT SHE WAS TRYING TO TELL ME.
    IT WAS TRULY A MIRACLE AND I EVEN STARTED TO DOUBT THAT IT REALLY HAPPENED, THAT MAYBE MY MIND HAD MADE IT ALL UP BUT THERE IS JUST KNOW WAY MY MIND HAD MADE IT ALL UP. IT WAS WAY TOO DETAILED AND AS I SAID I EVEN GOT OUT OF BED A COUPLE OF TIMES TO MAKE SURE I WASN’T DREAMING, SHE WAS THERE EACH TIME I RETURNED TO BED.
    BEFORE THIS HAPPENED I HAD SEEN HER A FEW TIMES FLY BY ME REAL QUICK GLIMPSES OF A SHADOW FLYING BY ME LIKE WHEN SHE WAS ALIVE AND PLAYING AS CATS DO, LIKE THEY ARE PREYING ON A MOUSE OR WHATEVER.
    I’VE ALSO READ IN OTHER BOOKS THAT YOUR PETS SHOWING UP AS AN ORB OR GLOWING BALL OF LIGHT AND ENERGY; THEIR SPIRIT FORM. AS YOU CAN IMAGINE WHEN I READ THAT I JUST FELT SO HAPPY AND IT WAS A RELIEF I GUESS KNOWING I WASN’T GOING CRAZY. IT WAS HER AND THERE IS NO DOUBT IN MY MIND NOW. I’M SO VERY LUCKY, I DIDN’T KNOW IF I COULD LIVE WITHOUT HER AND WAS THINKING OF KILLING MYSELF AND I BELIEVE THAT’S WHY SHE CAME TO ME AS SHE DID. I HAVE ONLY SEEN HER ONE OTHER TIME AFTER THAT OR FELT HER ANYWAY. MY BACK WAS IN REALLY BAD SHAPE AFTER I HAD GONE TO SEE A CHIROPRACTOR AND I COULD BARELY GET OUT OF BED.
    AFTER THE SECOND DAY I WAS RESTING IN BED AND I HAD MY EYES CLOSED AND I COULD SEE HER IN MY MINDS EYE AND SHE WRAPPED HERSELF AROUND ME AND I WAS ENVELOPED IN OUR LOVE IS THE ONLY WAY I CAN EXPLAIN IT AND I WENT TO SLEEP. A COUPLE OF HOURS LATER I GOT OUT OF BED AND MY BACK WAS LIKE NEW. I WAS ABLE TO STAND UP STRAIGHT AGAIN AND THERE WAS NO PAIN. SHE TRULY IS MY ANGEL CAT.
    I HAVEN’T SEEN HER SINCE THEN ABOUT A COUPLE OF WEEKS NOW, BUT I’M STILL LOOKING FOR SIGNS AND MESSAGES FROM HER.
    I STILL CRY EVERY DAY AND I MISS HER SO MUCH AND IT STILL HURTS REALLY BAD. BUT THE EXPERIENCE I HAD WITH HER, SEEING HER IN HER NEW SPIRIT FORM AND HER TALKING TO ME LIKE SHE DID AND HER DOING THOSE SOMMERSALTS WHILE SHE WAS FLOATING ABOVE ME I’M JUST SO BLOWN AWAY WITH JOY!
    I FEEL REALLY GUILTY BECAUSE I FELT LIKE I SHOULD HAVE PUT HER TO REST SOONER. SHE ACTUALLY STARVED HERSELF TO DEATH BECAUSE SHE BECAME ALLERGIC TO HER FOOD THAT SHE HAD EATEN HER WHOLE LIFE. WE PUT HER ON A PRESCRIPTION DIET AND THE VETERNARRIAN TRIED DIFFERENT MEDICATIONS TO STIMULATE HER APPETITE BUT I COULD SEE SHE WAS JUST TIRED AND I GUESS GAVE UP. SHE WAS SICK OF VOMITING AFTER SHE WOULD EAT AND THEN THE PRESCRIPTION FOOD SHE EAT FOR AWHILE BUT THEN STOPPED EATING IT SO I TRIED DIFFERENT FOODS AND WE TRIED DIFFERENT MEDICATIONS BUT SHE JUST STOPPED EATING. I WATCHED HER WITHER AWAY.
    I WOULD PICK HER UP FROM MY MOTHER’S BED EVERY MORNING AND CARRIED HER OUT TO THE COUCH IN OUR LIVING ROOM. I COOKED SCRAMBLED EGGS FOR HER ONE OF HER FAVORITES AND GROUND BEEF AND I CHOPPED IT UP REAL FINE BUT NOTHING WORKED.
    I ASKED MY VETERINARIAN AND THE GIRLS AT THE FRONT DESK OF THE CLINIC IF IT WAS POSSIBLE FOR HER OR IF SHE WAS CAPABLE OF STARVING HERSELF TO DEATH BUT THEY NEVER ANSWERED ME. NOW I KNOW IT IS POSSIBLE AND I REMEMBER COMING HOME WITH A NEW MEDICATION MY VETERINARIAN GAVE ME TO TRY AND SHE JUST COLLAPSED ON MY MOTHER’S BED.
    I FORCED HER TO TAKE ONE OF THE NEW PILLS THAT OUR VETERINARIAN HAD JUST GIVEN ME. AFTER ABOUT A MINUTE SHE STOOD UP AND THREW UP THE PILL AND SHE LOST CONTROL OF HER BOWELS AND COLLAPSED.
    I FREAKED OUT AND RUSHED HER TO AN EMERGENCY CLINIC. THE VETERINARIAN THERE ASKED IF WE WANTED TO TRY AND TAKE HER TO A SPECIALIST.
    BUT THERE WAS KNOW WAY SHE SUFFERED LONG ENOUGH SO WE JUST TOLD HER WE WANTED TO PUT HER TO REST.
    WE GOT TO SAY GOODBYE TO HER IN A PRIVATE ROOM AND AFTER MY MOTHER AND I BOTH HELD HER AND SAID OUR GOODBYES WE LET THE VETERNARRIAN KNOW IT WAS TIME AND WE WERE READY.
    SHE ASKED ME IF I WANTED TO HOLD HER WHILE SHE WAS PUT TO SLEEP AND OF COURSE I TOLD HER YES AND HELD HER. SHE EXPLAINED EVERYTHING AS SHE DID THE INJECTIONS AND SHE DID LOOK SO AT PIECE THEN. I JUST KEPT TELLING HER WE LOVED HER SO MUCH MY MOTHER AND ME AND SHE WASN’T GOING TO HAVE A SICK TUMMY ANYMORE AND NO MORE PAIN AND SHE COULD FINALLY REST. I KISSED HER ON HER LITTLE FOREHEAD. IT WAS THE HARDEST THING I’VE EVER HAD TO DO, SHE WAS AND IS STILL MY LITTLE BABY, MY ONE AND ONLY ANGEL CAT, MY ONE AND ONLY GRAZEE THE CAT!
    I AM SEEING A THERAPIST REGULARLY AND MY DOCTOR’S ARE TREATING ME FOR MY DEPRESSION, P.T.S.D., BIPOLAR DISORDER, AND ANXIETY.
    I STILL MISS THE OLD GRAZEE BUT AT LEAST I KNOW SHE IS NO LONGER SUFFERING OR IN PAIN AND SHE’S HAPPY. SHE WILL ALWAYS BE MY ONE AND ONLY ANGEL CAT; GRAZEE THE CAT.
    THAT IS GRAZEE’S AND MY LIFE ENDING TOGETHER STORY AND NEW LIFE EXPERIENCES BEGINNINGS.
    I’M LEARNING TO OPEN MY MIND AND READING MORE ABOUT COMMUNICATING WITH THE AFTERLIFE HOPEFULLY I’LL SEE HER MORE AND BE ABLE TO TALK TO HER AGAIN.
    I’VE ALSO JOINED THE FIGHT AGAINST PET FOOD INDUSTRIES AND THE FDA FOR ALLOWING THEM TO GET AWAY WITH PUTTING SO MUCH HARMFUL AND HORRIFIC INGREDIENTS IN THEIR FOODS. WE’RE TRYING TO GET THE FDA TO MAKE STRICTER GUIDELINES FOR PUTTING DEFINITIONS OF THE INGREDIENTS AND LABELING THEM EITHER A PET FEED OR HUMAN GRADE PET FOODS.

    Tomorrow I am putting my beloved Koumba down. She just turned 10 in June. She has degenerative myelopathy & has lost control of her rear legs. I took her to a neurologist, tried physical therapy, supplements. Nothing has helped. She has gotten progressively worse, there is no cure. My heart is breaking.

    • Karen Anderson says:

      Bobbie, my heart breaks for you. I am so sorry to hear this news. I will hold a sacred space in my heart for both you and Koumba. Sending love and healing

    I just lost my beloved 18 year old cat, Baby, two weeks ago and have been feeling her loss tremendously. I know she had a good life with all my other pets and myself, but still have regrets how I could have been more patient with her at times. From reading your online information and currently your book, it is helping me to try and release those negative thoughts and feelings. I’m trying to talk to her and share with her how much I loved having her and hope to connect with her in her spiritual form. My other cat, Dori, is over 18 and dread the thought of her life with me as I know it will not continue due to her age for that much longer. Do find comfort that all my previous animal companions and current ones will be with me when I pass over. What a wonderful gift you were blessed with and share.

    • Karen Anderson says:

      I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your angel, Baby. It hurts so deeply to lose someone you love so much. It is a blessing to have them in our lives and each day is a treasure. I’m so glad you have found peace and healing from my book and my teachings. Sharing what I have learned from the animals is paying it forward so you can experience the incredible messages with me. May each day bring you closer to healing from your loss….and keep the positive thoughts and memories vividly in your mind. Big hugs to you and Dori…

  12. Mary says:

    Hello, I am almost 6 weeks since my baby, mickey, died. I NEVER knew he could come back to me. I have had 8 visits. 8 ! But the visits always happen in the calm right after a huge meltdown or sudden downward grief spiral. Then his visit is obvious and quite scary. In the last 2, I had promised to stay calm and just reach for him nearby where i hear or feel him.
    QUESTION, Please…will he stop visiting me because i am working out these grief meltdowns and inching forward?
    And had my other dog, who died in 2016, likely tried to reach me because last week I smelled him. Period. I didnt know i could smell a visit.

    • Karen Anderson says:

      I am so sorry for your loss, Mary. It is so hard to lose someone you love so much. Only Mickey can decide about the visitations. Some will and some won’t. It seems to be just a personal preference and all pets are different. The ones that are with us the most tend to not give obvious signs. So don’t be disheartened as it is not a lack of love just they don’t feel the need to make it obvious since they are always near. I hope you have my book, The Amazing Afterlife of Animals to help you on your journey. It will also answer so many questions that you have about what happens when they leave. Sending love and healing…

  13. Michael says:

    Hi. Lost my dog 2 days ago and I’m totally heartbroken. I was with her when she died and she had lied between me and my girlfriend that night. We buried her later that day. We felt it hard to stay in our house so we went to our cabin a few miles away to do some work there, mourn and relax.
    It was hard that first evening and we both felt so down.
    The next day I went out and jumped into my car to drive the short way up the the old house we own and my sadness got a hold on me and I cried like a baby for her and in pain. My girlfriend jumped into the car too and we drove away.
    Later on that day when we came back and jumped out of the car the neighbors dog came over greeting us as he usually do but this time he was totally different. As long as I have known him he never barked at anything or never made any sounds. This time he came screaming and barking, jumping onto us kissing and snuggling. we were both stunned and shocked and it was all crazy. It went on for a few minutes and then he got on with his dog business.
    I said to my girlfriend that our dog which he knew had sent a message to us that all was OK and that we should stop worrying and being sad. It was so obvious.
    Later that evening in the sauna I felt such a relief, I knew she was there and we understood each other. I told her to go and play with the other dogs and wait for us over there. Told her we will meet again.

    • Karen Anderson says:

      I am so sorry for the loss of your sweet dog. My heart is breaking for you. It never ceases to amaze me at how creative our pets get when they want us to know that all is well. How wonderful you received this sign from her. We do not need to worry about our angels on the Other Side. They are perfect and always near. When we celebrate the time we shared with them it draws them closer. What a beautiful moment! Thank you for sharing. Sending love and healing…

  14. mary hancock says:

    Karen, I have read 2 of your books and I am confused. First, I have not read that my beloved Mickey is going to leave me signs he is good and happy AFTER this horrible grieving. When I am very down and nauseous and missing him to the extent that I can’t let go and I feel worse, thats when he leaves me a beautiful sign. I am so afraid that if i move on and process this debilitating grief, then he will stop sending signs. And then i will feel worse because he is definitely gone. His signs make me feel he is with me and happy. So grieving hard continues

    • Karen Anderson says:

      I am sorry you are feeling confused, Mary. Your beloved angel may or may not send signs or messages. Everyone is different. Some will and some won’t. The ones that are with us the most tend to not send obvious signs. We become desensitized to their presence because they are always near. Others will pop in to check on us and they make it very obvious they are near. Both are perfectly normal. Your grief will not harm Mickey or stop his spiritual journey. He can sense your pain and your grief and he may not understand it because everything for him is perfect and beautiful on the Other Side. Our pets usually don’t grieve after they transition they are enjoying the beauty of the afterlife and around us as we go about our day. I hope that helps to clear up the confusion. Be patient with your grief and honor your feelings as they are a reflection of deep love. Sending love and healing…

  15. Stina says:

    Ive never been a big believer in this sort of thing but right before the vet came out to put my dog to sleep i said to her half seriously “if theres such a thing as reincarnation youd better come back to me”. She stared into my eyes so intently at that moment it actually took my breath away. Ive loved every pet ive had but my bond with her was incredible. She had cancer so i had time to prepare as best i could. I somehow stayed calm and held her as she passed. Made myself think happy thoughts. If she picked up on my stress it would have made it bad for her. She was relaxed laying on my lap in the sun with the vet nurse patting her. Absolutely no regrets. She had the best life and i wasnt going to let her suffer in the end.
    I cant get past the look in her eyes when i mentioned reincarnation though. I didnt plan to get her. I went to look at puppies with someone else and shed stared into my eyes with that same look and id gone back later to get her as i couldnt get her out of my mind. So id convinced myself it was her “hello and goodbye” look. Until last night. I dreamed about her. Very vivid. Slowly she morphed back to being a puppy. Except she didnt look the same. And it was her but at the same time it wasnt. And her name was different. But the intent look in her eyes was the same. Pure emotion and communication. I can still cry at the drop of a hat i miss her so much.
    Am i just clutching at straws thinking this dream could have a meaning?

      I am so sorry for the loss of your special angel. I hope you have my book, The Amazing Afterlife of Animals to answer those questions about reincarnation and the afterlife. I am not a dream interpreter so I can not comment about that but I do not believe in coincidences. I feel everything happens for a reason or a higher purpose and we are given signs along the way to let us know we are on the right path or the wrong path. A truly amazing experience you shared.

    I was missing my dog (her name was Honey) yesterday. I lost her on 1/7/22. I was crying when I was getting ready for work and asked Honey to show me her name that day, so I would know she was with me. I went to work and a coworker said she was picking up food and if I wanted. I went on the website and it was açaí bowls and I was looking at all the toppings that I could add and it said “Extra Honey” and “Specialty Honey”. I thanked Honey for the message ❤️

    • Karen Anderson says:

      I am so sorry for your loss….and so amazed at that wonderful message you received. It must feel so heartwarming to know she is with you! I’m so glad you were guided to me so I can provide you with the ongoing love and support you deserve. Sending love and healing.

    Dear Karen,
    I lost my companion dog Theo a month ago. He was my spirit animal and the love of my life. He has been with me through a very difficult few years and died rather suddenly at 9.5. I have been grieving so much and feel like I can’t feel safe without him in my physical life.I’m crying a lot and know this is healthy but I also want to be able to feel all the good times and look at his pictures without crying all day. I am looking for signs from him. I wish to hear from him soon. I love you theo.

    • Karen Anderson says:

      My heart breaks for you with the loss of your beloved Theo. Few words can ease the pain but I hope you have my book, The Amazing Afterlife of Animals. It will help so much and open new perspectives so you can move forward into healing. Sending love and healing energy to you.

  18. Heather says:

    Karen thank you for your words.

    I have recently lost 6 fur babies just in the last 10 months 2 of them to old age my beloved Coco girl was 17 1/2 her back legs quit working and she had other age-related issues. My guinea pig Phoebe died coming out of surgery. 3 had incurable unexpected medical conditions and I had to lay them to rest my sweet Bella died a few days before her 10th birthday I thought she had phenomena took her to the vet only to learn she had a heart infection and enlarged liver I expected to bring her home that day but instead left devastated and broken hearted.

    I miss her every day. I lost my squirrel Athena of six years due to a tooth root tumor I had to let her go so she wasn’t suffering anymore. Then the most recent fur baby J J he died in my arms on may 1st he was only 7. This has been the most traumatic experience he had a collapsing trachea and the first hot day we had he was having an episode that he never came out of. I stayed up all night waiting for the vets office to open.

    That morning I went to move him and he yelped got scared and panicked then all a sudden his throat closed off and he couldn’t get any air in he was suffocating right before my eyes. I watched him helplessly slowly die in my arms. I tried to resuscitate him but it didn’t work.

    I’ve never been so devastated, and I still can’t believe he’s gone. thank you for sharing your story. I am reliving that moment over and over all I can see is those final moments all I can do is cry and I feel so guilty and angry and blame myself.

    I’m so heartbroken and lost. His mother was Bella who had the heart infection and with losing all my babies in such a short time my grief is so overwhelming.

    I just ordered 2 of your books in hopes I might find some comfort and makes sense of all these deaths and especially my baby boy J J. I miss them all so much that my chest hurts my chest and heart physically hurts.

    Thank you for sharing I find comfort in knowing they’re still with me and that I might be able to communicate with them.

    • Karen Anderson says:

      I am so sorry for all of your losses. Losing one is hard so I cannot imagine how much pain you must be in.

      Processing all of that is a complicated and slow process. Please be kind to yourself and gentle with your progress.

      I’m so glad you have ordered my books. They will ease the pain and help you understand how you can still experience their love, just in a new way.

      I’m working on my next book about pet loss and the journey through those dark days…and finding hope with afterlife signs.

      I hope you get a copy when it is published.

      Sending love and healing

    Good evening miss Anderson, I have bought one of your books and it has helped me a lot to heal. Thank you so much for writing it and being you. I’m having a lot of trouble still since my best friend since I was 17 or 18 years old has passed away. He passed on June 14, 2023 of this year. Can you please tell me when you will be available again for readings if possible? I know you’re probably extremely busy but if there is any chance you could’ve time for me I’d be eternally grateful. My life feels very empty right now and I’m going through a lot just like you and every other human being on this earth. I did all my research and even though I have a meeting with one of your students in October, I’d give anything to have a session with you. Thank you very much for your consideration and time. Sending you and all your loved ones good vibes and thoughts. 🌈 🌊 🌞 💜

    • Karen Anderson says:

      I am so sorry for your loss. There are few words to ease your pain. I cannot imagine how hard it must be for you.

      I retired from conducting sessions several years ago but have partnered with my colleague, Janet Rose for Animal Communication Sessions.
      Click here to book with Janet. She is extremely talented and her calendar is booked far in advance but it is well worth the wait.

      Thank you for the kind words about my book, The Amazing Afterlife of Animals. I will never get tired of hearing how much it helped you through such a difficult time.

      My new book, The Pet I Can’t Forget, Finding Hope and Healing with Signs from the Afterlife, will be released soon. Please be sure to opt in on my HOME PAGE for book announcements.

      If you loved The Amazing Afterlife of Animals, my new book has even more stories and insights from the afterlife.

      Sending love and healing

    Thru my 74 years I have had many dog, cat, and horse friends. My childhood dog, Pete- was my protector. Around age 45, I wanted a dog that might be protective because I traveled to dog events. I chose the Belgain Shepard breed when I saw one at a dog show and just “knew” it was suppose to be. A psychic I met at a dog event told me my Ciare was my childhood dog “Pete” who returned to protect me. My Ciara was indeed my protector. Not an obvious one, just “there” next to me – quietly standing when it seemed appropriate. A strange man saying “hi at a rest stop” is an example. Years later, she saved my life. A suspicious man requesting “work” at our lone driveway (with truck pointing toward road) came up 4 steps to ring bell. Ciara at my side when I answered – said no help needed. He took one step up and she shot out and bit him in the ass. He left immediately. My policeman friend told me it was a set up happening in the area and I was one lucky gal. I know my dogs talk to me and I try to respond. I want to get better at it. Several years ago at black longhair hunting type dog was in my field with the sheep. He would not let me touch him. After a failed effort trying to catch him on a hot day, I told him I was going to the house for a drink. If he wanted one he should meet me at the barn. He did- and the barn was at least 2 football fields away from where we were. Huck decided to stay and has been part of our pack of 8 ever since. Since I read your book, Huck has been sticking even closer to me. I can see he wants to tell me something. My suspicion is he wants me to know “who” he is. I have another younger dog and I am pretty sure he is either my DarciJeen or Gypsy Rose who both played flyball. Tiger (the pup) performed a near perfect “box turn” after observing Hussy do it once. NO DOG EVER learns a box turn that fast. And there are many other skills he seems to know as if by magic. I must be the luckiest person in the world if my loved dogs have returned for more fun and love. Thank you for all you do and all I hope you will teach me.

    • Karen Anderson says:

      Thank you for the kind words! You are my kind of person with all the companion animals you love and care for. I’m sure you were guided my way to learn and grow. Blessings to you and all your beloveds!

  21. Brittany Nagle says:

    🌚 🌝 I cannot wait for your new book to come out, I went to your home page and opted in to make sure I’m ready for announcements and very excited, thank you. Your books definitely indeed helped me a lot because I felt like I was dying inside before reading it and it helped my mom too. We can’t wait for the new book. Sending love, healing, prayers and thoughts to you and your family.

    Respectfully,

    Brittany Nagle

    dear karen,
    I am in middle school and I love your books and i would love to learn how to talk to my dog who has passed away 2 years ago he was a pug he was my best friend and he died from cancer

    • Karen Anderson says:

      I am so sorry for the loss of your best friend. It is so hard to say goodbye to someone you love so much. I’m sure he is with you now and loves you so much. It is wonderful to hear that you want to learn how to communicate with him. He can send images, feelings, and even words into your mind. Practice is the key and trusting what you receive. I hope you have my new book, The Pet I Can’t Forget.

      There are many stories about the magical signs our beloved companions send. Thank you for writing and keep practicing.

      Sending love and healing

  23. Brittany says:

    Good afternoon miss Anderson, I hope you are well. I had the session yesterday with [another communicator] and it was awful, she is a nice and wonderful person but she didn’t get anything right about Sparky. 😔 It’s either she didn’t have the right dog or she is really out of practice. My family and I were really disheartened since we were waiting for this session for 4 months. 😢 💔I bought your new book off of Amazon, can’t wait to read it when it comes.

    Respectfully,

    Brittany

    • Karen Anderson says:

      I am so sorry to hear about your loss of your beloved Sparky. It is unfortunate that you did not have a good session. Every communicator has a different method and it may take trying a few others before you find one that fits your needs.

      Don’t give up hope. Think about how many hairstylists it takes to find just the right one.

      Let this be an opportunity to seek out another practitioner and experience the joy of hearing from Sparky.

      Sending love…

    My little beloved dog I learned too late how much I loved her I should have done a lot better for her 22 years ago

    • Karen Anderson says:

      I am so sorry for your loss. It is normal to look back on everything you did or did not do. I do the same thing. We review our choices and decisions and hopefully, we make changes where we need to. Your angel will never judge you. Remember that. Only you will judge your choices and behaviors. Your angel will only love you no matter what. My new book, The Pet I Can’t Forget, goes into great detail about this. Especially, the chapter about blame, forgiveness, and guilt,

  25. Caroline Cartwright says:

    Hi Karen, i have come across your page after seeing your talks on YouTube. i lost my beloved Strawberry two and a half days ago and i am struggling with life without her. It has only ever been me and her in the house and that was enough to make the house full and feel like home, so you can imagine how it feels now, the silence is deafening and all joy that was there has just gone, i hate it, i have left all her things toys bedding. biscuits, blankets, scratch boards, litter trays where she had last left them and i can not bring myself the clear them away as i do not want her to think she was disposable and forgotten, also if she returns in spirit form i want her to still know its there for her (i know i will have to do it one day) To be completely honest at this moment in time i wish i had taken the lethal injection with her so we can continue together, but i have a sister left her on this earth and would not want to put her through any unnecessary upset. I will be buying your books to help me through this awful time and hope i will find some sort of peace I will also be trying the meditation when i am emotionally more stable and try to connect with Strawberry that way. i will also sort out a medium to help me connect with her. I do believe i have already had a sign. I am so happy i have come across your page and have read everyone’s post’s it helps me feel i am not along in feeling this way, i hate it when people say ‘why don’t you just get another one’ like she was a pair of shoes you can just replace, she was/is my soul mate, my constant love in life and source of complete joy and was my family.

    • Karen Anderson says:

      Thank you so much for reaching out and sharing your heartfelt story with me. I truly appreciate your kind words and the fact that you found comfort in my talks on YouTube. Losing a beloved pet is never easy, and I can only imagine how difficult it must be for you right now.

      I want you to know that you are not alone in your feelings of grief and loss. Many others have experienced the same deep connection and love for their furry companions, and it’s completely understandable to feel the way you do. Your Strawberry was more than just a pet; she was your soul mate, your constant source of joy, and a cherished member of your family.

      I’m glad you found solace in reading the posts on my page and knowing that others have gone through similar experiences. It’s important to surround yourself with support during this difficult time. And please remember that it’s okay to take the time you need to grieve and heal.

      Thank you for considering my books as a resource to help you through this journey. I hope they provide you with some guidance and peace.
      Sending hope and healing…
