    Songs from Heaven

    Has a song ever popped into your mind completely out of the blue, playing on repeat like an unstoppable loop?

    That catchy tune (what some call an "earworm") that just won't quit might be more than random brain activity. Many people who have lost beloved animal companions believe it's a gentle way for their animal friend to reach out from the other side—a sweet, spiritual nudge to let you know they're still with you, sending love and comfort.

    Next time it happens, pause and really listen to the lyrics. There could be a heartfelt message hidden in the words—something about enduring love, reunion, peace, or "I'm okay and watching over you." It might even remind you of a special moment you shared with your furry (or feathered, or scaled or hoofed) friend.

    Our animal friends' bonds don't break with physical separation. They find creative ways to whisper, "I'm here." If you've ever experienced this—or if a song is stuck in your head right now—share in the comments. I'd love to hear your story and what the lyrics might be saying to you.

    Sending soft hugs to anyone missing their animal soulmate today.

    Your Animal Companion in Spirit Sees Your Grief

    If I could share just one thing that animals on the other side tell me most often, it would be this: they are not worried about themselves. They are worried about you.
