Helping Savannah cross over
A few weeks ago, I knew that it was time to have our Great Dane, Savannah put to sleep. She had been losing her ability to use her legs for a while, though the vet was not sure why. We have been babying her along for the last month, but she was getting continually worse, losing control of her bowels and being unable to stand. When she woke that Saturday she could not even get into a sitting position, and I knew that the time had come. I sat down on the floor with her while my husband Scott got the truck ready and backed up to the front door. I offered her Reiki, and she accepted. I told her that we loved her so much, that we could not let her suffer any longer. I explained that the vet would give her a shot that would help her to fall asleep and pass over, out of her decrepit body. She communicated with me that she was ready to go, and that she apprecitated the fact that we were willing to help her go, and end her suffering. She also communicated that she would be around to protect us in times to come. At the vet, as the shots were being administered, I offered Reiki again, to Savannah, Scott, and me. Her passing was very quick and easy. As the vet and Scott were rolling her body into a sheet, I could see her standing behind us in her beautiful, spirit form. Later on, at home, Scott saw her laying on our bed. I am so grateful for Reiki for the amazing experience of helping our beloved dog pass, and for the comfort that we have received since.
