Where Do Pets Go After They Die?

One of the most common questions people ask is what is dying? The desire for transcendence collides with the idea of ​​nothingness. However, it is also worth asking where do pets go after they die?

Possibly one of the most incomprehensible forms of suffering occurs at the death of a loved one, which includes, of course, the death of a pet.

However, something sad about these cases is that it is not common for grieving processes to take place over these losses, and neither is the person given space to process the pain and heal. This is particularly detrimental to those who find their pets a unique source of true love.

What is an animal?

There are many discussions about whether or not they have spirit. However, there is no doubt that animals share common aspects with us. For example, they may feel emotions similar to ours, such as happiness, sadness, or pain.

Likewise, very apart from what is conditioned by their instincts,  each of the animals is endowed with a personal character that makes them unique, and is nourished from their experience.

It is due to these conditions that we speak of an animal spirit (oblivious to the religious perceptions that surround the word spirit ). In fact, the same word that characterizes them comes from anima , which means animated or alive.

It is increasingly common to hear stories of people who have seen their pets after death, or who feel their presence in the places that were most significant during their life experience. Therefore, the belief that animals transcend, either in spirit or essence, has become popular.

Death for animals

For animals, death is a natural process, and some have developed an understanding of it, experiencing grieving processes when a companion (be it animal or human) dies.

However, having not developed their own consciousness about death (such as the perspectives and meanings that humans give it), they do not feel any kind of emotional suffering about the finitude of their life, resistance to dying, fear of concepts such as hell or paradise, which can make this process extremely traumatic for humans.

Although, there are situations of attachment to their family, animals, within their own unconsciousness about death, do not suffer any kind of attachments, therefore they live in the present (they do not notice the past and it seems that they do not think about it). future), which makes the transition between life and death much easier for them.
