Ibis my horse has passed

My Dear Ones, 
Our beloved horse Ibis, The Connector, passed away peacefully on Monday 11/11/19 around noon, age 37. (Info on Memorial Service – ONLINE below or Click Here)

I saw him Sunday night, he was bright, alert, eating and drinking well, all systems were working well, with  no sign of this being his final night in his body. 

He was winstrol australia favoring his left hind. I did all my usual TTouch, essential oils, ASEA, and lots of BEMER, grooming, singing and loving.  He felt more comfortable. I said good night, I love you, and see you tomorrow.  

At 7:30 am Monday, Lisa, barn owner, called to tell me Ibis was down, and couldn’t get up.  He was quiet and peaceful however. He was not struggling she said. 

I knew this was it.  None of this was normal.  He would never lay down and stay down.  

I had a hope that this could be yet another ‘dress rehearsal,’ but knew in my heart of hearts this was it. 

I said many prayers, called in all of our guides and angels.
I called on my two close online friends Barbara and Kerry who have passed away, and my father who died in January 2019 for strength and guidance before getting in the car to drive to be with Ibis. 

The moment I saw Ibis I knew for certain he was actively dying.  

Lisa said the moment he heard my voice when I walked in his eye softened and he let out a sigh.

We sat together. I cried.  He reacted to my crying by trying to lift his head.  I told him I really needed to be able to cry.  He settled.

I shared favorite memories and stories out loud.
I spoke the names of all of our animal family who was waiting to greet him and carry him into the light. His best horse buddies Sunny and Oakie; Liza-Loo & Haley Boo the dogs; Jetta and Harmony dogs; Scarlet, Tigger, Mowgli and other cats…
He responded to each name very differently.  

When I spoke of Oakie for instance and talked about a time when they got out of the field and RACED around the property for quite awhile he nearly leapt up feeling the Gallop with his best buddy.
 
When I named Haley, who was our last dog, he somehow got out a deep throated partial nicker and picked his head up slightly as if he were seeing her in front of him. 

Lisa was there with us, amazed to see his responses to each individual.

Zoey, Princess Pony, Empress of One Heart, his dear buddy wanted to come see him.  We lead her in and she sniffed and ate hay by his side for awhile. 

I sang to him. Did TTouches. Applied Frankincense (slathered it generously actually) petted him, cried and rested together.   I encouraged him to let go of his body.

I reminded him of what he has said to me, “Do not think of me as growing old, think of me as growing to the light.”

He passed peacefully around noon on Monday, 11/11/19. 

After he passed, I spent the afternoon singing, petting, grooming, crying, and preparing with flowers, smudgeing, and singing with his body and soul, clearing chakras, readying his beautiful body vessel
to be taken to the creamatory that night as we began adjusting to this new reality without Ibis in his physical body.  
He was cremated very early Tuesday morning.
Kisses an hour and a half before Ibis passed.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We thank you for your kindnesses.

More recently, there are so many who have supported us through these last months and years.

And especially on Monday, 11/11/19…

On his last day:
Lisa Morr, who owns the barn was with us with profound support.  I could not have gone through this without her by our side, and for her deep love and care for the last 3 years immediately upon our arrival in California.
Melissa who gave me several jackets, blankets and a winter hat because I was SO cold all day Monday, and offered a big comforting, much needed hug;

Local friend Suzanne Park saw my post on Facebook and brought food and comfort;

My Jewel TTouch Sisters Elinor Silverstein, Sage Lewis and Linda Tellington-Jones who were by our sides from afar;

And, my deep gratitude to Linda Tellington-Jones for her extraordinary body of work known as Tellington TTouch – as Ibis brought me to this work 30 years ago and with sacred TTouches to his last breaths; 

To my Mom whom I love with all my heart, my Dad who sent me one of the most important messages of the day from the Spirit realms; and to my brothers, niece and family who just love me;

And, to all of you who have loved us from near and far – SO many were connecting via Facebook on Monday as I put out word of his being down and dying, showering us with your love and compassion throughout the day, since – and through the last years.

And, there are so many others who have lovingly supported us throughout our 32 years together.
