A Telepathic Cry of the Heart
Blog, Wellness & Spirtuality, Wolves | February 26, 2010
Whenever we lose a wolf from unknown causes we do an autopsy, to be sure our other animals are not at ri
sk and to learn what we can about better care. Cindar, a young, healthy wolf, died of a twisted lung – the equivalent of a colic in a horse. It is very rare. By the time it was diagnosed, though we rushed her off to Salt Lake City to a specialist, it was too late. As with any colic it is a true medical emergency and chances of survival are slim if not treated immediately. It made we wonder – why would a healthy young wolf die of such a rare illness? In discussing the loss with a healing practitioner, she told us that in some traditions each organ does not only its own job, and has its own vibration, but also carries the energy of a specific emotion. That emotion for the lung, is grief.
Our immediate thought went to possible causes here, but there were none that we could see. No recent losses, no changes. Then three of us looked at each other with the same thought – they started shooting wolves here in Idaho. And not just shooting them mindlessly, but rejoicing in their deaths, undisturbed by the obvious deep distress they are causing in the rest of the pack. Wolves are telepathic across distance among their own pack. We have clear evidence of that here. Is it possible they are feeling the distress of their kind in the vicinity as well, on another level? Death is one thing. Mindless death cruelly inflicted with intent is another, much harder to accept and heal from.
A further thought occurred – some animal communicators believe that illness and death can be a non -verbal communication. (Many psychologist believe that children who are not listened to communicate this way as well). Did she pick a devastating illness for which there was no cure, to emphasize that we need to do what we can to stop the shooting? And taking it even further outwards, to stop what we are doing to wild animals in general?
First I want to say how sorry I am for your loss; but I also want to thank you very much for this article. It touched me really deeply. The work you do is amazing, but more than just rehabbing animals you take the time to listen and learn from them in a humble and open minded way. Thank you very much for sharing this message and really reinforcing the truth in the profound connection we all have. We are all part of a much bigger ocean and wild animals seem to be aware of that in a much wiser way than many humans ever will…thank you again.

My heart goes out to you with your loss. Anytime an animal passes on to greater pastures (The Rainbow Bridge) it is very emotional indeed. We have so much to learn from animals and how they love and how they pass on. They are very spiritual and emotional beings. We as humans have a lesson to learn indeed. May God bless what you do with all creatures great and small.

My friend was in the stable with her horses. She told me that her long time outdoor cat whom she had loved, fed and petted for many years had come and sat on her lap for two hours that afternoon. Tyke had never sat on anyone’s lap before. When I walked back up to the house I saw Tyke laying dead next to the back deck. I went back to the stable and told my friend that I thought Tyke had just said thank you and goodbye in her own way. She tearfully agreed. And your website confirms how connected we all really are.
