Pets and the Afterlife

I just finished reading this and it is very comforting. I have lost many pets in my lifetime and have always had trouble coming to terms with their deaths. Lately, I have discovered that our animals are not gone from our lives when they pass on. This book verified things I have already known, but one thing I didn't know was that you could talk to them and they would actually hear you.I recently had an experience concerning Smokey, one of our cats. He was a Maine coon mix and at least twenty years old. He died of old age and I was missing him a couple of days ago. I had my head down and my eyes closed trying to keep from crying, when I felt something on top of my head. It felt like a paw and I got that image in my mind. Raising my head, I felt the top of my head and picked up a flying black bug that had landed there. I put it on the floor and at that time I knew Smokey was ok. The author of the book says animals use insects, butterflies and other things to communicate. I believe that.The book needs a little editing, but it didn't bother me enough to put it down. This is a keeper for me.I would recommend this book to anyone who has ever lost a pet. It will change the way you see your pet's death.

My Pomeranian passed away at the beginning of May, after 16 1/2 years together. She had been ill, but was doing better, and then one day, her health did a 180 from the night before. I had to make the most horrific decision a pet parent ever has to make. I cannot describe the pain, and emptiness that followed. I found myself doubting my choice, and questioning what she must have thought of me. Did she think I just gave up on her? Did she think I didn't love her enough, and that after all the love she showed me, my thanks was to have her life taken from her? I found myself starting to panic and question things I never really gave much thought to before; Will I really get to be with her again? How do we know they will be waiting for us? I was inconsolable, and I have never wailed the way I did in the week following her passing. Truth be told, I still have not gone one day without crying over her.The day after she died, my mom gave me Rob's name, and told me how a few of her friends had met him and experienced his gift. I immediately found this book, and downloaded it. It was very difficult to get through more than a few pages at a time, because I just couldn't control the tears. However, the further I got, the more comfort and peace I started to feel.I also found a podcast on his website, which was also extremely insightful and offered relief to all the questions that were plaguing me. He has a sincerity in his tone, and his writing sounds more like a friend explaining things to you, than just reading a random book.A month after my baby was set free (almost to the day), my mother suffered the same loss with her elderly dog. Like me, she values her animals and her bond with them over people, so I know she was experiencing the same soul-crushing agony that I was. My mom doesn't have digital books, so I immediately ordered the paperback and had it sent to her, as I know it will help bring some comfort.Overall, I would highly recommend this book to anyone who finds themselves in a whirlwind of questions and painful emotions. Thanks to this book, I was able to take solace in the fact that my questions, fears, doubts, and guilt, are shared by many pet parents. I don't know if I will ever feel certain that I made the right choice; there are always so many variables and what-if's, but I now know that I am not alone in those thoughts, and I have hope that she will sometimes be near, and that one day, I will have the joy of being reunited with her.

This book helped me so much! It was such a comfort! I was having such a difficult time with the passing of my French Bulldog Lilly, well actually I still am. It's been almost 6 months. It's getting easier day by day, but it's a slow process. Robs personal stories and the stories from others who have lost their little furry kids have helped me so much. It also makes me realize that I am not losing my mind, and that others have experienced the signs and messages from our pets, from beyond. Sometimes I think that I am imagining things, but the signs are too many and too much to just be coincidence. Rob helps you to make sense of it all in this book.

This is a wonderful book for those who are grieving the loss of a pet, especially for those who had to make the decision to end their furry friend's life through humane euthanasia. I just purchased this book this past Friday, and I couldn't put it down. I had it finished by the next day. I lost a cat that was very special to me this past February, and have been having a hard time dealing with her loss. This book has brought me endless amounts of comfort, as I am now certain that I had made the correct excision, and that my sweet little kitty is at peace. I would recommend this book to anyone who is questioning their decision or who is simply having a difficult time dealing with a loss of a pet. Rob Gutro is very talented and will give you insight into seeing signs that you may have missed that your beloved pet is whole again and at peace. I now look forward to reading his other books as well. I hope that this book brings as much comfort to others as it has to me.

Reading this book brought me so much comfort, as I am grieving the recent loss of my dog. The stories that Rob provides bring much insight into what are pets are doing and where they are once they leave this plane of existence. I just recently found out that Rob has also written a follow up book and I am purchasing that today.If you are suffering from the loss of your sweet little pet, get this book. It will help you immensely move through the grieving process.

This is a fantastic book for anyone who has lost a pet and wishes to know what happens when they leave us. In Rob' s own personal experiences and experiences of others in the book, you will find a peace and understanding that will help you through this terrible time of loss. Pets and the Afterlife is a book I will read again and again. I recommend you read it, too. You'll take away only positive thoughts. I promise.

I purchased this book and the second book on pets and the afterlife after losing my soulmate cat Samedi in December 2016. Strange things started to happen, and I thought I was going insane. Thanks to these books and the replies from Rob to my emails, I was reassured and able to understand and find peace. I have read these book three times so far as they help me to maintain that peace – I receive far fewer signs than before, so need that reassurance. I also bought these books for my cousin who was devastated at losing his sweet cat at a very young age – they really helped him as they did me. I highly recommend both books on pets and the afterlife by Rob Gutro – he’s an amazing person and he knows what he is talking about – he’s both a medium and a scientist – a very interesting combination – you will not regret buying his books!

I really enjoyed reading this book. Since my cat died in July, I have walked through a heavenly purr, heard him meow and feel him visit me, this starts off as a flash of light, this book has helped me understand these signs. I also know that we have a soul contract with our pets which was formed before we were born and the contract tells us when we will die. Thank you for an amazing read. X

A wonderful look into the beautiful transition of our beloved pets. I personally had just lost my darling furbaby, and had contacted Rob, who emailed me personally straight away, a wonderful guy, a fantastic author , and a superb medium, both he and his book brought me so much comfort i cannot say, I still find myself picking up this book when feeling very low at times and always find a passage and answer in this book, PLEASE , make this an absolute read and purchase, especially if you are going thru the loss of a beloved pet you will not regret it I promise. Cannot praise this edition enough. Thankyou Rob. xxxx

After losing a dear cavalier king Charles spaniel recently I now realise that things that have happened to me were in fact signs from my sweet boy. who was obviously letting me know that he was just fine. I felt that initially it was perhaps my imagination. I now truly believe they do communicate with us. Thank you Rob.

I was drawn to this book as I had just lost my much loved Chihuahua. I had questions answered and felt a sense of peace after reading it.A must read if you have lost a pet
