Connecting with Our Pets in Heaven: Interpret Signs from Animals in the Afterlife, Cope with Grief, and Heal

An A to Z guide of signs and symbols that show your best friends never really left your side. In many cases, we don’t choose pets to welcome into our family; they choose us. Or some divine intervention seems to bring us together. That mysterious but amazing bond is not broken when an animal leaves our realm. Our pets continue to reach out to us in loving, encouraging, even instructing ways after they cross the rainbow bridge. This beautiful book, complete with inspiring photos, will share the many ways pets speak to us through signs in nature (cardinals, rainbows, clouds), patterns that pop up in our daily lives (from smudges on glass to pawprints on a path), familiar pet sounds (jangling tags or the voice of one pet through another), orbs, dreams, and more. Organized in an A-to-Z format by pet sign, you’re sure to find a connection to pets who have been part of your family. Heart-warming personal stories from the author and other pet lovers share the promise that our animals and their love remain in our lives forever. --
