Essence of Animal Hospice and Holistic End-of-Life Care: Panel Discussion
The discussion among the co-founders of Hospice Animal Group and grief counselors delves into the profound world of animal hospice and holistic end-of-life care. The conversation explores the spiritual dimensions of the journey, the stages of dying, and the powerful lessons Mother Nature offers, while also extending a call to action for younger generations to advocate for the well-being and choices of sentient beings.










Wow just wow. I really could connect with everything you said. I grew up with animals, horses, dogs, cats you name it. I also practice martial arts I felt like I was looking in a mirror. I have a dog that started in a bad place. He is my bestie and have been looking for a way to help him calm himself. I also have been looking for a way to connect with animals. Every day Murphy ( doggie) and I walk a trail for miles. I am always telling my best friend about all the creatures we see on the way. What was odd, but now I understand, a lot of the time for example a bunny will stop feeding and not run but watch Murphy and me. My dog will actually become peaceful and rarely barks which until now I didn’t comprehend ( he barks at EVERYTHING). I will be trying your exercise today on my walk. My friend started practicing Reiki a few years ago and does s energy work on her horses. We don’t live close to each other but she is always trying to get me to come meet her teacher. You have definitely made me want to explore this art further. I have started to take a more holistic approach to Murphy’s health and this is a beautiful way to calm all of us; human and animal. Loved your camp story I cringed when you said they were camp horses because I know their fate. What a beautiful thing for the woman rescuer to do. Thank you so very much for your time today. I think I have a new path to pursue.
So excited to hear this, Sheryl! Yes, in ideal world everyone should be able to practice Reiki or any energy modality daily. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for your comments Sheryl. I love meeting kindred spirits and I’m excited for you to try meditating with your dog on walks 🙂 Blessings!
Thank you so much. I will go set next to my rottis now and try
You are so welcome! Have fun practicing with your doggies!
Kathleen, the alignment, spirituality, Agency of your journey with animals and your vision has had a profound impact on my life. Your share about the horses who were on their way to slaughter breaks my heart but the gratitude and compassion that resulted in this Reiki changing the energy of the horses by creating an energy space inward and not at them. Touched my heart to the core.-go deeper and see the light. “All is well”
Thank you?❤️
Thanks Olive, yes indeed All is Well!
This was such a beautiful and powerful conversation.
Thanks Eloisa!
Kathleen that was a beautiful presentation. Thank you for sharing your story. The calmness that I felt after the meditation was so blissful. I have been for a student in The Let Animals Lead® method and I truly appreciate all of the work that you do for animals.
Thanks Amy, glad you enjoyed the meditation and happy to hear you are already learning this method 🙂
