We’ve published my Peace in Passing Book’s Second Edition! It’s titled, Peace in Passing: Comfort for Loving Humans During Animal Transitions Second Edition. And it’s about four times as long as my original version, published in 2016.
That’s because my first edition focused on finding peace after the death of a beloved animal who already passed. This second edition begins at an earlier life stage. It helps you navigate through your beloved animal companion’s slowing-down stage of life. And continues through the transition to the next life and beyond.
Curiously enough, the unexplained perceptiveness of animals has been ignored not only by mainstream scientists but also by most psychic researcher and parapsychologists. Why? [P]sychic phenomena were seen as peculiarly human rather than as part of our biological heritage. — Rupert Sheldrake, Dogs That Know When Their Owners Are Coming Home
In this second edition, I give you permission to discover how you connect with your animal—whether they’ve passed on or they’re still “on the planet.” By being drawn to this book, you’ve already accepted my challenge. What I share here is an open door, an invitation, a “what if,” for you to find your own way into the sacred mystery of our relationship with animals. And life.
We all have our own wisdom, knowing about what works for us and our animals. I invite you to use this book’s guidance as a torch to light up your own path. Find information that lights you up, that celebrates your own unique way of connecting intuitively. Don’t get stuck in dogma —find the truth of existence in your relationship with your animals and the Divine.
I want to thank all the people (and their animal companions) who allowed me to share their stories. Their stories are the “stars” of my book. They brought this book to life.
And a huge thank you to Tina Zion, who wrote the Forward to this second edition and all my early readers who took the time read and share their thoughts about this edition.
