I attended a workshop last fall which addressed the topic of the animals’ perspective on dying and when/if assistance is appropriate. The guest presenter of the workshop, Paloma Bärtschi-Herrera, has published an e-book on this subject. I found the e-book to be insightful and helpful in answering some questions about the dying process based on the wisdom of her own animals in spirit.
This is an emotional topic, but one which we all must face at some point. If you have an aging animal and are beginning to have questions about resources to help your animal to pass peacefully, whether assisted or unassisted, you may want to consider browsing through this e-book. I started the e-book before my beloved Valentino passed, and finished the book after. While I was at peace with his transition and our agreements with one another, I still found some “ah ha” items in the e-book which helped validate and gave me a clearer perspective on the dying process and why he chose this particular timing and circumstance for his unassisted passing.
The e-book “Animals and the Final Journey” is available on Paloma’s website. The price is listed on the site; the e-book is 51 pages in length.
