Michelle, I'm so sorry you lost your sweet boy, Jack. I just lost my cat, Boo, on Saturday; she was a 19 1/2 year old calico. It's so hard to lose our pets, they truly are such wonderful additions to our families. I hope that in the next while, we can both remember the good memories of our fur babies and work through the grief of their loss. Thank you for still releasing this video during this difficult time. My thoughts are with you and I hope you may find peace and comfort. Sending you lots of love. ❤
I am so so sorry. What an amazing amount of time you had together! I feel the love and appreciate it. Wishing for us both this year offers healing and all the beautiful memories return. I wrote a meditation last year that I've yet to release and want to revisit about connecting with our pets "Somewhere Over the Rainbow Bridge." It was my way, I suppose, at the time of preparing.
I just recorded it and will probably release it next week on my other channel @michellesmeditationsanctuary. I hope you are doing okay as well. @@amyloreen
I'm so sorry to hear about Jack - the rainbow bridge is a beautiful image and I know he enjoyed much love and warmth in your family. Im grateful you find beauty and comfort in so many places and shared it with us at a difficult time. Looking forward to putting this on tonight. Thank you. ❤
I am so sorry to hear of your loss, Michelle. Our pets are our best friends, and this must be such a difficult time for you. The pressure of releasing regularly is real but I hope you manage to give yourself to time off, and come back only when you are ready. I have always enjoyed your content, and will continue to do so when I struggle with sleep. You're in my thoughts, and I'm sending love to you and Jack x
This means a lot coming from you-- thank you for your compassion. It's hard-- over 13 years of routine and habits are suddenly different and I have to keep catching myself. Everything now has the "new-without-Jack" experience. But how lucky we are to experience the love that pets provide unconditionally.
@@MichellesSanctuary Bless you. 13 wonderful years by the sounds of it. He sounds like a wonderful companion. I had a long phone call with Dan Jones yesterday (about creator life and YT struggles etc) and he talked about you and how you have said a lot of similar things to us, so I thought I’d check in and see how you’d been getting on, and then I saw the sad news 😞 again, remember your own words to your listeners and be kind to yourself during this time. Sending Sleepy Cat hugs x
I’m so sorry to hear about Jack. I’m sure he’s running free and out of pain over that rainbow 🌈 bridge eating as many treats as he wants! Know we are here and thinking of you and thankful to you as always xx
Thank you for your kind words. This means a lot. I'm so incredibly lucky to have you all-- and to have had the ability to work from home and be with him every last day. There is no love quite like the kind an animal provides.
This was amazing Michelle, thank you so much, l see from the comments you have lost your fur baby, so so sorry. Especially as you have given us another stunning story, much love 💞💞
I am so very sorry to hear about Jack. I know that he crossed the rainbow bridge knowing he was loved. ❤❤ Thank you for this beautiful sleep story! It helped calm my anxiety and panic. I love that you chose Antarctica as the destination for this sleep story.
I'm glad you enjoyed this destination-- it was one of the most faraway and dreamy places I could think of. Thank you for your kind words and compassion... I hope so. I recognize now that I spent the last 13+ years doing my best to give him the most amazing life I could.
Michelle, I am so sorry about Jack. What a lucky fellow he was to have you as his person! Our best friends are never with us long enough. Please take care of yourself during this time. I am getting ready to listen to this now…it sounds amazing.
Jack is with you in spirit ! Make sure to tune into his energy, never forget our energy is tied forever with our closest fur babies. I do believe this strongly. Love you Michelle, xo- Alexis 🩷🎀💕
Our sweet pets never live long enough. Always heartbreaking. Immerse yourself in the grief. But know you have so much love to give for a new soul that will eventually come into your life.
Hi Michelle wonderful story as usual. I have a suggestion for a story what about a story based journey through our chakras to keep them lit up and in alignment. I’m so sorry for your loss. 🤍🤍🤍
I saw in the comments that your beloved Jack passed. I’m so sorry for your loss Michelle. It’s not really a loss because through knowing and loving Jack you gained the greatest thing someone could posses in this world, which is to love another and receive love in return. I know the pain of losing them all too well. I grieved my first baby’s (I call my pets my babies) passing for years. Last night I found a diary I kept years ago in which I wrote to her after she passed. It has been 13 years since her death and I cried for an hour straight as it all came rushing back. The grief lessens but it remains permanently in you. I read somewhere that grief is love which has no place to go. I’m sending you so much love and healing Michelle and I’m also sending it to Jack, wherever in the universe he is beyond space and time. May your love always watch over him. 🤍🕊️
Thank you for sharing your experience-- and that is the thought I return to most when it comes to grief. And I've even begun to see guilt as a shade of love as well. Thank you for your incredibly kind and compassionate message. It means a lot.
I use these to soothe a painful injury I think it strange ice and rain theme mediations and music frequencies are most helpful those things for real flare it up .
@@MichellesSanctuarywhattttt that’s crazy!! Not the first time I’ve thought about something and then check and you’ve posted a new video on that very topic! Thanks for being on timing 💜🙏🏻
So sorry for the loss of your furry loved one. My daughter and son in law lost their Akita/Labrador mix on new years eve. They just yesterday got a 9 week old labrador little girl called Willow. Much love. I know how devastasting it is. ❤
If I’m reading the comments correctly you lost your little boy Jack. My heart is sad for you and your loss and sending prayers for Jack as he crosses over that beautiful rainbow bridge where he will be greeted by so many soothing souls who will show him how to keep a safe eye on you from the other side. He will always be in peace and is with you always. I lost my Duke February 6th and I’m dreading our one year anniversary apart. He was my true soul friend and it was a tragic ending. Too soon for such a beautiful spirit to leave this world. I pray for Jack to find peace and forever bliss!
I'm so sorry for your loss.... the more people I've talked to and learned about, I wonder if its possible for it not to be tragic or feel that way. I'm working on a rainbow bridge meditation... a place where we can imagine and connect with the best moments of our sweet furry friends. Thank you for your sweet words and compassion. I wish the same for Duke 💜
That is a beautiful idea. I will very much look forward to that. And I hope that will be cathartic for you as well. It should be a beautiful process. The circle of life. Our time here and inevitable transitions and time apart until we reconnect on another level. Duke and I had such a soul connection and my heart aches for him daily. It was a tragic too soon loss. I just hope he is free and able to live his true spirit life on the other side. Our fur families mean so much to us and dedicate their lives toward loyalty to us. I hope he is ultimately letting his fur flag fly in ways dogs can’t always do in our world. And Jack too! Their real furry, wiggly lives begin!
Since I’ve lost Duke I have fostered 3 dogs. Two of which I’ve failed and adopted 🎉😂 the third I’m just about to start the process for finding a new home. It is both sides of bitter and sweet. The loss of him after we’ve all grown so close but the sweetness knowing there is someone out there dreaming of this level of love and I have just the mister to join that forever family.
Let the gentle lullaby of the night soothe everyone's weary souls. Embrace the darkness, for it holds the promise of a brighter tomorrow. Sweet dreams 💫💤🌟💫💤✨🌟💫💤✨
So sorry to just learn of your loss of sweet Jack. I didn't realize he was ill and this was a shock. Please accept my deep sympathy. a prayer being sent.
Thank you, it was so sudden. And he bounced back for a day and it all seemed like it wasn't real, until he got worse. I'm just grateful we had this one day where he acted like a puppy--- behaving in ways he hasn't in a very long time.
I have heard of that behavior, also in people. A last beautiful day together here. Once again, so sorry for your loss but Jack knew how much you loved and cared for him.
Thank you, Lynda. Jack crossed the rainbow bridge on Weds. I didn’t know if a story would come this week but the beautiful serene images I saw of Antarctica inspired this one and it became a soothing place to take my mind. I hope it’s the same for you when you listen 💜
@@MichellesSanctuary I'm so very sorry Michelle, my thoughts are with you at this time, I know how our pets aren't just pets they are our life our life and our hero's, may he rest in peace, please take care of yourself sweetie you're a part of my life now, God bless you and yours 🙏 🤗💛
I didn't know until now that little jack had passed away. I am so sorry about your loss. I appreciate your dedication to your listeners but never feel obligated to if someone in your life is sick or passed away. I know he had the best life with you.
@@michellequehl3605 thank you. It was really helpful for me to be creative in some way as I made my way through this week. But there may be a time in the future I take a little getaway (or big getaway!).

Thank you-- I'm aiming to do all that I tell others when they suffer a loss.
I love this sooo much. So cozy puts me out every time!! Can u do one of sleeping on a house boat?
You called it-- I just released a houseboat story last night!

If I’m reading the comments correctly you lost your little boy Jack. My heart is sad for you and your loss and sending prayers for Jack as he crosses over that beautiful rainbow bridge where he will be greeted by so many soothing souls who will show him how to keep a safe eye on you from the other side. He will always be in peace and is with you always. I lost my Duke February 6th and I’m dreading our one year anniversary apart. He was my true soul friend and it was a tragic ending. Too soon for such a beautiful spirit to leave this world. I pray for Jack to find peace and forever bliss!

I'm glad! Have an amazing week, Alan!
Michelle, I’m so sorry about your loss. 😢 ❤
Thank you so much.
My teddy and your jack were twins maybe they will find each other and become friends, what lovely thought that is❤❤❤❤❤
That would be so beautiful-- it's quite in line with a meditation I wrote and will release when I am ready. Thank you for your lovely thoughts.
I can't find any of your old videos like the cabin in the woods rain sounds
They are definitely still there-- I've never deleted videos. If you search the videos on my page in chronological order that will help.
First I hope jack is doing better, he's such a sweet looking dog, I'm so excited about tonight's story, much love 🙏💛
