My best friend and soulmate died on 9/3/21. I'd like to believe this, but some of it is so absurd. It's seriously stuff like "if you're driving to work and look out the window and see any animal, choose to believe that's a sign from your dead baby saying they're fine and they love you!" Umm... seriously? Do you know how many times a day I saw random animals before my kid passed? Now I'm to believe they're all my baby? I'd love to believe my kid is somehow still around, and that I can talk to him. I DO still talk to him. But this book just makes me feel more guilty because it says if you're not doing all these things then you're not accepting the communication from your pet. So it's kind of torture for people who 1) are logical but also 2) have OCD and 3) are already dealing with serious grief/depression from the loss of their most beloved.

I wish I hadn't picked this book up.

I don't know what else to say.

A reassuring book for owners who have lost their pets, this book details signs we should look for to feel their presence. There are stories from other owners and their experiences. It’s definitely a comfort when you’ve lost your loved one.

Signs from Pets in the afterlife by Lyn Ragan
Really good book, and it is so true. Every one of my pets came back to let me know they made it over the rainbow 🌈 and to heaven. Some of my pets have even slept with me. I saw my pets who were younger and full of life again.If you lose a pet watch for signs.

This slender volume, written by a medium, talks about signs that she and several others have been given after their animals pass on to the other side. There was not much emphasis on animal communication, but there were some instances in which it was discussed.

I did find myself deriving a certain degree of comfort from it as I continue to grieve the loss of a beloved pet myself.

A nice adjunct if one is in need of this kind of book.

I lost my golden retriever less than a week ago. He was 12 years old & had been with us since he was a puppy. My husband and young children haven't seemed too affected by the loss. Not to say that they are unfeeling...it's just that, I think, he was more my dog than theirs. I fed him, walked him, groomed him, etc. He followed me around, wherever I went. I am devastated by this loss but I feel like I have no outlet & no one to share in my grief.

Over the last few days, there have been moments when I thought I felt his presence. I know people who have had visits from deceased pets and wondered if this is what I had experienced. So, I decided to read this book.

This book explains the many possible ways our pets can communicate with us from beyond the grave. It gives many examples from several people's real life experiences. It is up to us to be open to seeing these signs. Looking back, I think it may really have been him. I now have a better idea of what to look for and will keep my eyes open.

I do think the book (I purchased the Kindle edition) was somewhat pricey for such a small book. I read it within about 2 hours. I also think a lot of this information can probably be found on the internet but it is nice to have it all in one place for easier reference. There are some things that one may need to look back on again, such as certain numbers & colors having a special significance.

It was nice to listen to how others have grieved and kept their pets' love alive in their hearts. Some of the lists of signs went on a bit longer than expected, but it was still nice to listen to during my time of grief. Grieving for a pet is hard, because not everyone understands (some down right think you're crazy), but you need to remember that this is YOUR process... only you know how you feel and what you can handle. Know that there are people out there who understand. My animals are my family and I would do anything for them. While I haven't received a sign from my beautiful Lilly girl, I know that she's in my heart and will always stay there.

My dog recently passed away around a month ago, and I bought this book to be a comfort for me that she was in a better place. I found some of the points interesting, but since I am roman catholic, I do not believe in some things that they said that our pets are made of energy. If you come from a religious background and devoted to that religion, some parts of the book may be a turnoff. However, many other parts in the book, such as first-hand stories made it an easy read, and something to help with grief.

Interestingly Enough, I got bored and thought I would just skim the end of it and then got to the next chapter on feathers, which I find to be my communication with my dad. So I read it. Then was going to skim again and the next chapter was butterflies which is how I like to see my grandma.

Interesting but still a little hard for me to believe. I WANT to believe and have experienced a few things since my Bear passed away. I'll have to wait and see what the future brings. Good read though for those of us who miss our pets so much.

Heartwarming and comforting

Despite some grammatical errors, the stories in this book had me both laughing and crying hysterically. It also taught me so much about animal souls and their connections with us in the afterlife, just like human souls.

This was a really comforting book. We lost our sweet 16 year old cat earlier this week, and have been seeing/receiving signs from her all week. I wanted to learn more about how pets contact us when they’re gone, and it was nice to hear of others’ similar experiences. ❤️

Recensione completa qui: https://www.lunaticamente.com/recensi...

L'ho letto poco dopo che il mio cane è venuto a mancare il 5 febbraio 2024. L'inglese è davvero molto facile da comprendere, può leggerlo anche chi ha una conoscenza base della lingua.
Non mi dilungherò molto perché questo tipo di libro di "auto aiuto" deve arrivare quando una persona sente di leggerli. Ti aiuta a comprendere che c'è un velo sottile che ci separa dai nostri amati animali che non vedono l'ora di rispondere alle nostre preghiere con dei segnali, per dirci che ci vogliono bene e ci pensano e che ci sono vicini.
Bisogna avere una mentalità aperta, senza essere scettici. Attraverso la condivisione delle esperienze altrui, ti fa capire quali possono essere i segnali che ci possono arrivare, segnali che mai avremmo pensato.
E' una carezza per l'anima e che consiglio a coloro che hanno bisogno di trovare un po' di pace nel mare di tristezza che lasciano quando se ne vanno.
Vorrei portarvi un mio esempio pratico di quanto mi è accaduto e che ancora oggi mi meraviglia.
Stavo andando a passeggiare al parco con mio moroso, ricordo che ero davvero triste e pensavo "il mio Yoshi non mi manda alcun segnale, forse è arrabbiato con me" e altri pensieri simili.
L'occhio mi è caduto alla vetrina di un pub che si trovava dalla parte opposta della strada rispetto a dove mi trovavo io. La vetrina era (ed è tutt'oggi) piena zeppa di stikers di band e simboli vari. Tra tutti spiccava quello dell'impronta della zampa di un cane, lo sfondo era rosso. Lo ricordo perfettamente perché sembrava volesse dirmi "ehi, guardami!".
Ad oggi, ogni volta che passo davanti a quella stessa vetrina, quella zampa non l'ho più vista e sono certa fosse un suo modo per dirmi che era ed è vicino a me. Sempre. Avrei altre esperienze simili da raccontare da quando è venuto a mancare ma questa è stata quella che mi ha lasciata senza parole.

As something between a skeptic and a believer when it comes to the supernatural/paranormal/spiritual, I bought this book out of curiosity. I believe it was made with good intentions and could/has brought comfort to grieving pet parents, but the critical side of me scoffed a few times while reading.

Seeing signs from nature is about as old as storytelling in terms of human behavior. That butterfly could be a loved one reassuring you or it could...just...be a butterfly. And it seems odd that there are no negative interpretations of anything; the worse a sign could mean is "I miss you", according to this book. My previous cat was an only pet and it's hard for me to imagine that yes, she is fine with a new cat sleeping on her bed, playing with her toys, getting snuggles from her owner, etc.

This book accomplishes its mission of comforting and reassuring its audience that their pet understands and loves them and is with them forever and is perfectly alright in the hereafter. I didn't find any new signs that I didn't pick up on myself from my girl, but I did learn the concept of "oversouling", which is easier than googling "did my cat send another cat to comfort me or do cats just normally pick up on that stuff?"

As a Christian, the Bible is the guide for my life. I recently lost one of my dogs a month ago today, and found myself struggling with the idea of what happened to her, as the Bible does not clarify whether or not pets/animals go to Heaven. After praying for guidance, insight, and a sign that my beloved Sandy was okay and that I made the right decision in euthanizing her, I stumbled across this book on Chewy's website. I read this, alongside another book written by a Friar with a Scriptural point of view, and found myself immensely comforted and intrigued. While I am still skeptical of some of the things in this book, I'm glad I went into this with a more open mind. Most of it made a lot of sense to me and I am grateful for the hope I have that all of God's creatures do go to Heaven. And that I will see my Sandy girl again one day...as well as all of the other animals I've ever loved.

I recently lost my blind/deaf mini double dapple doxie, Hope. I literally feel like my heart has been ripped out and was searching for a book to help me through the grief. I stumbled upon this book and was pretty disappointed in my purchase.

The bulk of the book is very repetitive. Not to mention that the author uses the same four people for sharing their communications with their deceased pets. I was hoping for a wider range of experiences.

I did like the explanations and deeper meanings behind the signs and symbols that can be sent by our dearly departed loved ones. However, the book lacks focus and substance. Much of the text feels like empty filler to me.

I would pass on this book.

Another book I got to help me following the death of my entire world. It gave me comfort, it’s not necessarily for everyone but I needed to find various ways to try and cope. My boy was my everything and as we were together 24/7 the day day he died, everything changed for me. I’ve had to do whatever I can to get by. This book gives you ideas of things to look for as possible signs from your pet in the afterlife. Whether you believe or not, I would say, if you’re grieving, give it a go, it can’t hurt

Well, I didn’t really like this one and thought it was very repetitive with simple sentence structure, HOWEVER, I do think it makes you much more aware of the little things around you that bring your pet to mind. Do I believe my pet really sent me a sign? The jury is still out on that one for me. I’d really like to think so, but am doubting it. Since I have a son in heaven already, I’d like to think he is taking good care of my past pets. Not sure about that one either. Maybe some day……

After over two years, I'm still struggling with the loss of my soul dog, Jerry. He was with me through some of my worst struggles. I bought the book in hopes for more understanding, and possibly reassurance that my boy knows how much I love and miss him. I found some information in this book that I found quite interesting and helpful. The lists though of colors, animals, feathers etc had me a bit bored but overall, I think it's a basic guide for further research in this Afterlife.

My doggie recently passed away. I dont know why I bought this book. I REALLY think it was my doggie who brought me this book from heaven. There were so many personal stories about chihuahuas There’s different types of signs that our pets give us. The most interesting ones to me were butterflies, dreams, dragonflies. I highly recommend this book for people who have recently gone through pet loss. 10/10.

I absolutely adored this book. From a girl who lost her beautiful black Labrador three and a half years ago and is still absolutely heartbroken and struggling to get over his death -this gives me so much reassurance that my beloved boy is alright and being looked after and is still with me on my journey in life. I would recommend this book to anybody was struggling with pet grief - this book is uplifting and reassuring and so comforting. What an absolutely beautiful read, five stars from me!

If you lost a pet, it's an interesting read and can be helpful in healing. There is a chapter on your pet leaving coins in your path. Well, the day after I read it, there was coin found right on the side of my chair in a conference room I was in. I brought the coin home and then at closer examination, saw that it was dated the year my pet was born, which is what the book said happens.

I recently lost my beloved Yorkie Frankie of almost 13 years and this book was gifted to me. I did find it helpful in my grieving process as it does offer signs that your pet can provide you on the other side. I think the main question is are you willing to believe and look for them? Would like to see more content that’s why I rated 4/5.

This is more of a reference book but I read through the whole thing to be more alert of signs to look for. For anyone who’s dog was their #1 companion and best friend this boom is for you. If you are reading this comment I’m sorry for your loss, it’s never easy but with resources like this it makes it a little easier.

The message of this book is basically anything & everything can be a sign if you want/think it is. While I’m don’t 100% believe that to be true, It’s comforting to read the stories of others who feel they have communicated w their pets in the afterlife. I would rather have hope; this book gives you that and a reason to think of your lost furry love and smile. 💔🐶🐕🦮🐾💕

This read was quite comforting. Pets are so beneficial to us in many ways. They provide companionship as well as protection. But mostly, they become family. This makes it so much harder to deal with the loss. This book gave me quite a bit of solace. After completing this book, many things and/or happenings became more apparent. This is worth the read!

While reading this book, I immediately was gifted with so many signs from my sweet Love Bug! This book has helped me recognize those signs. There is no greater gift than knowing my baby is ok and that we will forever be connected. 💗
