A MESSAGE FROM JESSIE
I love my dogs and my horses very much and we communicate with each other. I know how they are feeling and when they are not well. My major lesson in life has been to trust and value my intuition. My mistakes, particularly my big mistakes, have occurred when I have allowed myself to get too stressed and I have not trusted my intuition.
When Jessie died on 1 May 2005 it literally tore me apart at every level of my being. As well as my indescribable feelings of sadness, despair, shock and loneliness, I knew it was not Jessie’s time, and I suffered indescribable guilt because I knew I had let Jessie down. I had allowed an egotistical, uncaring human being who was a so-called 'expert' in her field to bully me.
It broke my heart that Jessie died without ever seeing Beau again.
Jessie loved Beau so very much. Jessie had hung on for so long, and I had tried so hard to find Beau. I had let Jessie down. I trusted another human being who did not respect her, and who therefore proved incompetent in diagnosing and treating her illness. By the time I realised this, it was too late for Jessie, and it was too late for me !!
I suffered a great loss because I did not trust my intuition. I lost my most dearest, my most beloved friend, my ‘Miss Princess’, my Jessie.
The following months were one of the most difficult times I have experienced in my life. What helped me recover were my love for Jessie and her love for me, and my love for Beau and the rest of my family.
A 'Beau supporter' phoned me out of the blue and her name is Rosemary. Rosemary said she was reading about a pet psychic and because Beau had been missing so long, she thought this might be a way of finding him. Rosemary is one of the wonderful people on the Gold Coast helping me find Beau.
At the time Rosemary phoned me, I had a very strong feeling that Jessie was trying to speak to me. I thought I was going insane with my grief.
No matter how hard I tried to rationalise my thoughts, I kept feeling very strongly Jessie was trying to communicate with me.
The next week it was Jessie's birthday.
I decided to book a reading with this pet psychic. Because she is also a medium for animals and people, I asked her to speak to Jessie and not to Beau. I felt Jessie's presence with me so strongly at the time.
Would you believe it .. the reading occurred on Jessie's birthday .. on 9 September 2005 .. and the psychic reading revealed I was correct in feeling that Jessie was trying to communicate with me !!!
Jessie said she was not ready to die and she was very angry with the people who had caused her death. She was very worried about me because my health had suffered so much. Jessie said it was not my fault. She wanted to ease my suffering by telling me she did not die alone ... my mother came for her when she passed over into Heaven.
My other deceased pets came through the reading as well .. Benmore, who was the most vocal and would not be quiet, Bandit, Misty Blue and Sparkie. My deceased parents came through as well.
This photo shows Benmore in the middle, with Jessie and Bandit either side. Even though Jessie and Bandit towered over Benmore, he ruled us all with an iron paw.
The other reason Jessie needed to speak to me was to tell me what had happened to Beau on that terrible day on 1 July 2003, and most importantly, to tell me that ....
BEAU IS STILL ALIVE !!!
Even though Beau has not been sighted and he has not been taken to a veterinary practice for almost 5 years now, I still have a strong "feeling" that Beau is alive.
Intuitive feelings cannot be proven. When I seek feedback about whether or not Beau is still alive, only a medium who is also a pet psychic can provide this. There are few gifted psychics in the world who also communicate with animals. I also have to bear in mind that it is impossible for any psychic to be 100% accurate because they are human.
In March 2007 I happened to come across a medium who lives in Perth, Western Australia, who also communicates with animals. It was her belief that: "Beau is very much alive" and she also said: "It is quite amazing to see how you and Beau are still connected. Because of the existing energy between you and Beau something will have to keep happening."
This medium also spoke to Jessie who predicted more publicity. The publicity commenced soon after, on 22 March 2007, and continued throughout 2007 resulting in major media attention throughout Australia for Beau (refer the Media Stories web page).
Jessie also said "It isn't finished yet."
At start of 2008 I happened to come across a medium who lives in America, who also communicates with animals. Her reading happened to occur on Beau's birthday. She believed very strongly that Beau was still alive.
She also said: "There is one thing that is certain .. Beau has not stopped missing you or loving you for one single day and nothing will ever change this".
AFTERLIFE
I have always had a great love and deep connection with animals and nature since I was a child. Because of this I have always had a spiritual connection through animals and nature.
These are some words from the book 'On Grief and Grieving' written by Elisabeth Kubler-Ross about the "Afterlife". Elisabeth Kubler-Ross spent 50 years of her life helping dying patients and their grieving families. Elisabeth was not a psychic. She was a psychiatrist.
Elisabeth Kubler-Ross says: "Whatever the truth about life after death, we are certain that death does not exist as we imagine it. If you feel your loved one's presence, do not doubt it. They still exist. Birth is not a beginning and death is not an ending. They are merely points on a continuum. Death does not exist in its usually traditional form as an ending to all. That understanding may leave little comfort in the immediate moment, but in the long run, it helps to know that somewhere, somehow, our loved one still exists and we will see them again."
I believe that we are never alone, even when we die, because our loved ones in Heaven are always with us.
I have a high regard for Elisabeth Kubler-Ross and quote some words from another book she wrote, 'A Memoir of Living and Dying. The Wheel of Life' :
"The only thing I know that truly heals people is unconditional love.
Everything is bearable when there is love.
The only thing that lives forever is love".
There is nothing 'written' which dictates who you should love, that you should not love an animal; and how much you should love, including 'just an animal'.
BEWARE !! The deeper you love, the greater the pain of grief. However it is worth it because ..
Love is the most powerful force in the Universe !!!
Elisabeth Kubler-Ross also says in her book 'A Memoir of Living and Dying' :
"The greatest gift God has granted us is free will. It places responsibility for making the highest possible choices on our shoulders".
I encourage you to ignore human beings who degrade you because you love an animal or because you grieve the loss of an animal.
I encourage you not to allow another human being ever to take away your free will, including psychics and animal communicators. They have no more of a connection with a Higher Power than yourself.
I encourage you to listen to and trust your intuition and to value your communications with your pets and the wildlife.
A TRIBUTE TO JESSIE
I believe most people when they are faced with a seemingly hopeless, desperate situation will pray for Divine intervention, even if they have never prayed before.
I prayed for Beau from the moment I found him gone because I knew something terribly wrong had happened this terrible day on 1 July 2003. I later decided to set aside a special place in my home to honour my prayers for Beau and for my family who are in Heaven. To this day I still light a white candle at dusk and I talk to Beau and I ask my family in Heaven to comfort Beau wherever he is.
In December 2003 I purchased the book 'A Harmony of Angels' written by Angela McGerr in the United Kingdom because I wanted to learn more about Angels.
When Jessie died on 1 May 2005, the shock and the despair was too much for me to cope with because Jessie died within days of contracting kennel cough. Jessie had been exceptionally well for her age prior to this time, so her death was a great shock to me. I became very ill at every level of my being and I emailed Angela McGerr because of her connection with Angels.
Angela McGerr was working on a project at the time which also involved a new concept for her .. mystical Animals .. Animal devas who aid mankind, and who are
between angels and man on the vibrational level. This project involved the creation of 48 Heart and Soul cards featuring 24 Angels, 12 mystical Animals and 12 sacred hallow light tools.
Angela was so touched by my words expressing my love for Jessie, she was inspired that one of the mystical Animal devas should represent The Golden Shadow Hound of Heaven. Since a child Angela has loved a very spiritually inspiring book entitled "The Hound of Heaven" which was written by Frances Thompson.
Angela asked my permission for Jessie to represent the Golden Shadow Hound of Heaven as a tribute to her. Angela believed every time a set of Heart and Soul cards was purchased, the reader would be inspired by Jessie's loving and gentle energy.
My words about my love for Jessie, "the light of my life", inspired Angela to write the following piece, to bring the mystical Animal deva of The Golden Shadow Hound of Heaven to life, so to speak ......
The Golden Shadow Hound of Heaven
"Rose gold Shadow Hound of Heaven brings unconditional love, loyalty and fidelity of heart and soul, supporting you until you find your true heart's desire ... the one that leads into fulfilling your soul purpose. For she is the heavenly shadow of your heart and soul synergy.
Through your times of doubt and uncertainty Shadow Hound follows you to comfort and encourage you. She is unquestioning and faithful, bringing a loving golden heart to beat as one with yours, blending tears of sadness or happiness with you, sharing your triumphs or defeats. You need never be alone, for if you wish her company her loyal mission is to follow you down the years, until you achieve your true heart's desire. She is your heavenly enabler, demonstrating the power of absolute trust, acceptance and surrender.
Consider what she reflects back to you ... this is your guide to what you must either embrace or release in yourself to find and follow the Way of Love and Light.
Even beyond this lifetime Shadow Hound can accompany you down the labyrinthine paths of Eternity. As the clouds dissolve and the veils lift from your spirit, she stands beside the angel trumpeters and rejoices as you become an illumined being of Light whose consciousness merges with All."
