“Hindsight is 20/20” ~ A Testimonial

Following the transition of her heart horse Sunrise, I sent Danika a copy of ‘Hindsight is 20/20’ in the hope that it would provide support, understanding and insight. She read it in one sitting 🙂  Danika shared such a beautiful testimony that I wanted to share it with everyone too……… perhaps you know of someone struggling with the loss of their animal companion and this book may support, clarify and open them in their own grieving process.   Grieving is such a personal experience that can create isolation and questioning.   This book was written after the transition of my Rhodesian Ridgeback, Nira.  His love and teaching showed me how to see death from his perspective and it opened up an entirely new understanding of the Circle of Life.

Danika shares:  “Your story is so moving, and I can’t truly express how thankful I am to know you but I will try here, but you really are talented, and your work is life changing.

Your book proves the page count doesn’t have to be high and the words inside don’t have to be extravagant to be the most moving and educational read I’ve ever held. It made me remember I’m not alone in my grieving, and to keep my eyes open for signs, to keep learning and moving forward, even if I don’t feel like it, to make her proud and not waste everything she taught me growing up. To trust that she knew what to do, trust that there’s a purpose even though it’s so painful without her… she was after all the lead mare from beginning to end, I was lucky she let me believe that I was the boss once in a while…

It helped me feel and quickly let go of the anger and frustration of being so not in control of things like this. To trust that she thought I could make it through this, and she has never been wrong about anything to my knowledge… And I keep seeing these signs I otherwise would’ve missed because depression would’ve kept my eyes closed in a dark room. But it was your book, well, really, it was knowing you, and seeing your work, your real-life magic, that has helped me believe things are not just coincidence, and kept me looking forward to catching the next adventure in life. To stay open minded, and open hearted, once it’s healed enough”. – Danika D.

I am so grateful that 20 years on, this book, written to support my own process continues to help others. If you know someone who would benefit from the gentle insight this book offers, place your order here.
