What could we have done better for our pet dog who passed away?
Talking to the Departed is one of the techniques that is closest to my heart. I want to help lessen the pain spent thinking of a Loving Departed, whether human or animal.
Those who approach me often have regrets on what they weren’t able to provide, or a desire to know how their loved one is as of the moment.
It may seem scary to confront these regrets and curiosities, but being able to have a two-way conversation with them as if they were still alive may just be the relief grieving fur parents need to heal from the loss of their beloved pet.
This is the love story of two fur parents who wanted to connect with their cute, happy male doggie named Kaido, who just loves to play, eat, and see his fur parents! Because he existed, Kaido contributed so much joy and wonderful memories to his fur parents.
One morning, when his fur parent Bernadette (not her real name) came home, Kaido was found dead. 😢
With a grieving heart, our Miracle Bernadette messaged me about Kaido’s passing. She told me she’ll likely have a hard time staying focused at work.
Empathizing with what she is going through, I decided to make time for Bernadette so I offered a schedule that evening.
For urgent requests, I make it a point that if I can really be available, I will make servicing Miracles possible either through video call if I am home or chat if I am outside.
Our conversation with the deceased, Kaido.
When we started our video call, Bernadette brought her husband so he could also join. Both were in so much emotional pain.
Since I want to ensure that we get accurate messages from Kaido, I asked God* to lead, oversee and make our interaction with Kaido as meaningful as possible. After that request to God, I saw Kaido sitting on the lap of Bernadette’s husband.
*When I mention “God”, it’s always in reference to the Highest Source Energy that is of unconditional love. Some may call this Being Universe, Creator, Mother, Father, Source, etc. While reading this article, you can replace the term God with a Name that resonates with you the most.
What you will be reading now is a conversation between the fur parents, and how me and God best communicated what Kaido wanted to say. The conversation also included God’s responses to some questions. Please know that we can only get responses that were true according to Kaido’s memories.
Feel free to get ideas on what kinds of questions you can ask your departed pet!
The conversation begins.
👩🏻 Bernadette – What was Kaido thinking during the last moments of his life?
🐶 Kaido – I’m not really sure. But if I try hard to remember, I remember not feeling so good. It’s the first time I felt pain like that. The pain must go away like always. Then, I started to think of when is the next time I’ll see my fur parents. I am excited to see them. Oh! I was also thinking of yummy food and when my next meal is.
*Kaido then drifted off and passed away during that moment.
👩🏻 Bernadette – I’m so sorry Kaido that I didn’t go home that night. I was just so tired so I slept over elsewhere. I should have gone home.
👨🏻 Bernadette’s husband – For you to better understand the situation, Kaido stays inside a big, clean, comfy cage outside the main bedroom, and there’s no aircon. It’s hot outside so he might have died of dehydration or a heat wave.
👩🏻 Bernadette – The doctor already said that he had some health complications. I could’ve paid better attention to Kaido’s needs. If I went home that night, Kaido might not have died. I’m so sorry.
*Kaido looked so confused.
🐶 Kaido – Why are my fur parents crying? They shouldn’t cry. I want them to be happy.
*Kaido made an effort to show affection by trying to touch and lick them.
🙂 God through me – It looks like Kaido doesn’t understand why you are so sad, and doesn’t want you to be sad. If this will help you move on, it is clear that Kaido already forgives you.
*The guilt started to lessen.
👩❤️👨 Bernadette and her husband – What could we have done better, though?
🐶 Kaido – I want more playtime and walks with you! I also want more food. Yes, food.
*Bernadette and her husband looked at each other. They seemed confused.
👩❤️👨 Bernadette and her husband – Isn’t Kaido already overweight? Should we have fed him more food?
🙂 God through me – You don’t have to take Kaido’s response seriously. Kaido is simple-minded. Also, you should really not overfeed a dog.
👨🏻 Bernadette’s husband – That’s our Kaido! He loves food so much!
*We laughed, then Bernadette and her husband looked at each other again.
👨🏻 Bernadette’s husband – It’s time to ask this question. Who is your favorite fur parent, Kaido?
👩🏻 Bernadette – Oh, I’m sure Kaido’s favorite is him. *Bernadette points to her husband.
🐶 Kaido – You already know the answer. It’s the one who feeds me more food.
👩🏻 Bernadette – I should have fed you more food, Kaido.
*We laughed even more.
👩🏻 Bernadette – Can we ask Kaido to stay with us?
*Kaido was agreeable, and decided to stay with his fur parents in Spirit form. Similar to Spirits of deceased humans, if pets want to stay with their fur parents, they would. Staying is an act of love. Staying does not have any consequences unless the loved one’s soul wants to reincarnate already.
👨🏻 Bernadette’s husband – Kaido, do you think we should we get another dog?
🐶 Kaido – If you were to ask me, it’s ok. But I prefer that you have a human baby.
👩🏻 Bernadette – Oh, Kaido. Claire, me and my husband want a human baby. I’m surprised Kaido mentioned the baby.
*Bernadette looked so touched because she heard that from Kaido.
👩🏻 Bernadette – If there’s a lesson, what’s the lesson I need to learn from what happened to Kaido?
🙂 Me – I don’t think Kaido knows the answer to that. But God is saying that you already know the answer.
👩🏻 Bernadette – That’s so amazing because that’s how I felt too. I already know. The lesson is about prioritization.
🙂 God through me – This means you take responsibility for any commitment you choose. In the case of having Kaido or any pet, you will need to ensure that you take care of your pet. You also need to take care of yourself better so when you have better health, you can show up to all your responsibilities. This is especially true when you have a baby. Always have vegetables as part of your meals, lessen your sweets, don’t overeat and make time for exercise.
👩🏻 Bernadette – Huhu. God knows about my bad habits! I’m still concerned, though. I recently went to a doctor and we found a health complication that makes it hard for me to have a baby.
🙂 God through me – You would need to take better steps to make your body ready to host a baby. Continue with your consultation with the doctor, and apply what we talked about regarding your food choices and exercise. Also, very important, let’s talk about your physical intimacy.
*After getting the much needed information, Bernadette’s husband started to joke.
👨🏻 Bernadette’s husband – Kaido, when you come to our room, you’re not allowed to be in between me and your mommy when we’re having sex, ok?
End of conversation.
This story is told through me and God’s lens, showing only snippets of the most important parts in our conversation. Our Miracle also reviewed and approved of this article, and chose to keep herself and her husband’s identity confidential. We hope that this real modern miracle story empowers you to show up better in loving yourself, your pet and/or a future baby.
