Food, Drink, and Pets in the Afterlife

When we get to the afterlife, will we be able to have the food and drink we love? Will our pets be waiting for us there? We have the answers from the people living there now. Here’s what they say.

First, will I be able to eat in the afterlife, and will the food I love be available to me?

Everything you want will be available to you because you want it. People of different cultures enter the next realm of life with their own set of expectations and desires. Japanese people live in surroundings like those they had on Japan. Mexicans live in ideal circumstances based on their lives on Earth. Everything about our lives in the afterlife, the residents tell us, is just what we would expect based on our lives on Earth, only much better.

Among the things we can enjoy there are foods we ate on Earth and beverages we normally had. In the life after this life, each person is in an environment that fits their expectations for life based on their common Earth experiences. As a result, if an Australian wanted a meat pie, it is simply there, cooked and ready to eat. If a Chinese person wanted Peking duck, it would be available. A Greek individual would have Greek salad, seafood, or eggplant-based dishes. These foods don’t have to be requested. All aspects of the environment fit the person’s expectations for the ideal normal life.

We also have heard people living in the afterlife saying they have wine, cigars, pipes, and other such sources of sensory experiences. Their taste is the ideal taste the individual experienced on Earth, but nothing harms the body or the environment. Only the taste and rest of the experience is present. No one has to go to the store to purchase these things. They are simply present in the person’s home because they expect life to contain them and want to experience them.

Whatever you want to have in the afterlife will be there for you to enjoy with everyone you love and new people you meet there.

Will the pets we love be there when we arrive in the afterlife?

Yes, we are told all the pets and other animals we loved on Earth will be there when we arrive in the next stage of our lives. They are there because we loved them. Our love gives them continued life in the afterlife.

Your pet might stay with members of your human family who have gone on before you, but it is more likely that it will stay in a group home and play with other animals while it waits for you to come and have a joyous reunion. Since the sense of time is different there, your pet will not mind that it has been a while since you’ve come. They are waiting for you to take it home with you.

You may be wondering how many of your pets will be there. People who enjoy their animal companions love many cats or dogs or birds or other animals in their lifetimes. The communications we have received from the afterlife tell us that all of the pets are going to be waiting for their human friends.

There are communications from people who made the transition to the afterlife describing a mob of dogs, cats, and other animals greeting them, and they first had to pet and love every one of them before their human loved ones could get near enough to hug them. It isn’t only our beloved house pets that are in heaven. Farm and circus animals that have been loved by a human being likewise are waiting for the people who love them when they get to heaven.

We have heard about families who have compounds there that will continue through generations that include farm animals. Reports of dogs, cats, and other animals appearing at deathbeds are common. Your deathbed visitors are going to be the loved ones that you most likely want to have to take you from your deathbed into the afterlife.

So even if your transition is in your 90s, if you were very close to a pet in your childhood, it might well be among those who come for you. Our pets in the afterlife often give us signs and communications. A familiar bark, or a meow, or a rub against the leg, or a cold nose against an arm.

These are frequent little signs. Animals that had slept on our beds will sometimes continue to do that. So we might be reading or watching TV, and we will distinctly feel our pet jump up onto the bed, and then see and feel the little paw indentations as our beloved furry friend walks to their sleeping place, where we will see and feel the greater indentation as they curl up to sleep at our feet.

Full-blown visions of animals are rare, but they can happen too. Roberta Grimes, vice president of Seek Reality Online, describes a dream visitation from her horse. In her dream, she saw her beloved horse Bo in a harness in front of her, pulling the cart in which they had enjoyed exploring the dirt roads near their home.

He was trotting along happily, and she was in rapture. When she awoke and recalled the dream, she knew what it meant. Bo was thanking her for keeping him safe during his life, and gently caring for him until he died.

One account of a person being greeted after his passing by a loved animal was recorded by Betty Green and George Woods during a Leslie Flint seance in 1974. Leslie Flint had the remarkable ability to have people in the afterlife speak audibly in the room through an ectoplasmic voice box that had air-like breath flowing over the vocal cords to create audible voices. The deceased person’s name was George Wilmot.

George had two wives, but didn’t get along particularly well with either of them. However, he was greeted warmly when he died by a beloved animal. This is a voiceover narration of George’s story.

Do you know that I may make you laugh, but it’s perfectly true. Mind you, I was always fond of people.

I always took an interest in people. As a matter of fact, the thing I can say is, is honestly that often people will come and ask me proper questions. If they’re in trouble, it’s always better to help people.

I’ve been fond of people. But the fun thing was, and in a way I’m not surprised, because I was so fond of her, but my old Jenny was the one that I first saw when I came in. Now, that’s got you guessing, but Jenny wasn’t either of my wives, thank God. It was my horse. Yeah, old Jenny, she used to pull my cart. I was real upset with my old Jenny crapped and died, you know. She was as near to me as any woman could be.

In fact, more so. I had great affection and regard for old Jenny and she knew everything that I ever said to her. I’m sure she did.

She was a real, real beaut. She wasn’t much to look at, I suppose, as horses go, of course, but she was a real, real nice old nag, she was. And the first thing I remember when I woke up over here was being in a, well, I suppose you’d call it a field. I was, it seemed to be, sitting lying under a tree.

And I remember sort of waking up and I’d seen this horse coming towards me. And it was my old Jenny. Gosh, she looked younger, of course, than she was.

Oh, she was so thrilled and so happy. You could sit and feel it. I can’t say how.

I mean, it’s just something I can’t explain. But it’s the way she was talking to me. It was extraordinary.

I couldn’t hear any voice. And you don’t expect to hear a horse speak. But it was somehow mentally, I suppose, now I realise it must have been as if she was speaking to me and welcoming me.

And she came and stood beside me and was licking my face. Goodness me, I’ll never forget this as long as I live. And I was so thrilled, so excited.

The story of George Wilmot is one of the most beautiful stories I have ever heard. His love gave Jenny life in the afterlife.

Here’s another example from the Leslie Flint archives. A woman named Mary Ann Ross came through in a Leslie Flint session, describing her delight when she first arrived in the afterlife to have a dog she had known from her childhood come to her. As she was walking, she saw other animals. This is a narration of Mary Ann Ross’s words about animals in the life after this life.

Then there was a dog jumped on ma bed and this really gave me a fright, in a way. Not that I was afraid of dogs, I was fond of animals, but this was a dog that we’d had many years ago, that ma father adored and that was killed by a cart, many years ago, when I was, oh, in my twenties, I suppose. And this dog we called it Nipper. And do you know, to see Nipper jump on this bed startled me and I just couldn’t realize. My mother said, of course we’ve animals here too.

Ah, I thought well this is, you know, I just couldn’t understand it, if they were dead. As my mother said, that there’d be animals too. And she said, oh that’s nothing. She said, out in the yard, she said, you’ll see a lot of other animals too. I just couldn’t take to this at all, I couldn’t believe. You know, when you’ve been brought up as I was, to a religious way of life, you know, you didn’t automatically begin to think of animals being here.

Next thing I know was that I was walking down, what appeared to be, a lane, you know. It was beautiful, with trees either side and beautiful fields and I could see cattle. And there were all sorts of animals that I’d seen in picture books. And once years ago, my mother when she was well, many years before, and my father was alive, we’d gone to Edinburgh and I remember we went to a place where there were animals.

And, it was very interesting to see all the different animals there. I just couldn’t understand, you know, there were beautiful creatures and they were wandering around and no one felt afraid, I didn’t feel afraid. Ah, I don’t know and there were birds in the trees and they were whistling and singing and there was music. And I can only say it sounded like music to me, but there was no, nothing that I remembered in music. But I was very musical myself, though I never had any opportunity to study music, but I always liked music. And I could hear music and sounds, which were, oh it was a strange thing as if there were the sounds of nature. And there was also the animals and the birds and it was all so wonderful.

We have many, many such accounts of people finding all the animals and pets they loved waiting for them when they arrive in the afterlife. We know without a doubt that any animals you love will be there to greet you when you make your transition to the life after this life.

You will then live together happily without growing older and with no end to your life or theirs.
