Supporting a dying animal is an art that can be learned, and benefits greatly from preparing ahead of time, before the actual hospice situation arises. Being there for our animal as it completes this life cycle can be one of the most challenging, and at the same time most rewarding undertakings we may ever experience. This poses an exceptional opportunity for everyone whose animals are members of the family. It is tempting to not think about the time when our animal gets closer to the end of its life. However, not preparing ourselves ahead of time frequently means we have no other option but euthanasia. Providing hospice care is a great final gift we can give to the ones who have brought much joy to our lives. Often it is also experienced as lessening the grief, leading to a sense of great completion.The SPIRITS in Transition™ online classes are designed to give tools to people who are interested in providing end-of-life care for their animal friends. The best time to prepare for this is truly well in advance. In the unique program SPIRITS in Transition, we will explore a variety of ways that allow us to be the greatest possible support to our animal loved ones when they come closer to their departure. This puts euthanasia back in its rightful place, as an indeed last resort if comfort of the animal cannot be maintained. If it is skillfully supported however, an animal may well be able to pass peacefully on its own.
