I’m really struggling :( I’m alone in my life rn after the deaths of my parents and grandparents, and now a divorce. I’ve had anorexia 9 years at this point and right now my weight is very very low and I have a lot of good things going in my life despite all the loss but I am just soooooo fkn sad and I can’t fkn eat and I’m scared

My second animal afterlife encounter:

Juno was 16 when she passed. :( She was our family’s first pet. About two years after she died I was cooking in my kitchen. I just began thinking about her, remembering her. Just then, I felt my other little dog, Sugar, walk past and behind me from the left. A second or two after, I felt her pass from the left again. 🤔 This confused me and I turned to look at her. There she was, but suddenly she started whimpering and crying, running around as if looking for something, sniffing the air.

This story isn’t the most convincing perhaps but for me, in that moment, I felt like I knew Juno had just walked through my kitchen. That it had been her who passed me the first time.

Ok. I have a story I’ve wanted to share.

So a few years ago my son had two little pet parakeets. They were doing well but at one point one of them had something wrong with its eye, so I brought him to the vet. He was prescribed an antibiotic. The vet also suggested a different food than what we had been feeding them. I was told this new food was healthier.

Over two days the eye improved, however both birds began looking sick and moving slow :( I guessed the new food had made them both sick because that was all that had changed. I changed out the food again but maybe it was too late 😢

I woke up on about day 3 since the vet visit to find one of the birds dead at the bottom of the cage, and the second was leaning against it, not looking so good. Then the second bird also passed away. As I looked at them, feeling so upset, I heard a noise on the patio outside.

I went out to see what it was 😳

Inside my screened in patio, with the door completely shut, were two sparrows. I don’t know how they got in. I had lived in the house over 10 years and there had never been a single bird in the patio, let alone two.

I opened the door to the backyard, and both sparrows flew out and away together immediately.

I get goosebumps just thinking about it! To me it seemed directly related to the deaths of the two birds inside. I’d never once thought about animal afterlife tbh. Not in a serious way.

What do you think?
