This morning I talked to my dear friend, Patty in Louisiana. A few days ago, she sent me a photo of a baby opossum she found abandoned in her back yard. The opossum died five days after she rescued him. Patty wondered how the opossum found his way into her yard, what his message was for her, and if he is ok now.
Patty was feeling grief and guilt over the opossum’s death. When she first found him, she brought him inside, researched his diet and put him in a warm, comfortable and safe space in her home. She also contacted animal rehab facilities in her area but none were available to help her.
After nursing him for two days, she took him back outside to see how he might do when it was time to release him. She saw that one of his back legs was deformed and he would not be able to survive in the wild.
Patty made the tough decision to give him comfort care rather than try to save his life and care for him into his adulthood. He passed three days later.
The baby opossum’s mother told me that she brought him to Patty’s yard because there is so much White Light around her house. Domestic animals show up at Patty’s house often and she helps them find their way home, or if that is not possible, she accepts them into her home.
The baby opossum’s mother told me that all animals know about Patty’s healing place, wild and domestic as well. Patty is known by many in the animal kingdom. She brought her baby to Patty’s backyard because she knew her baby would receive excellent care from Patty and that her baby would have a peaceful transition. Momma felt that this was a good solution for all of her babies. She would be able to continue to care for the rest of her litter, and the rest of the family would have a better chance to reach adulthood.
As soon as I connected with baby opossum, my heart opened and I could feel love and peace flow though my entire body. Baby was showing me where he is now and how it feels to be back with the Creator. His guides told me that he is a very young soul and that this lifetime would be short for him on purpose. As a soul, he wasn’t sure if he wanted to incorporate into a body so it was decided that he could come just for a short while to see if he would like to come back for a longer stay. Baby was gifted with a deformity to insure that his life would be short lived.
According to his guides, Patty’s role was as a surrogate mother. Patty helped to lighten the load for momma and also gift baby with love and compassion as well.
I think this is a lovely story and too precious not to share. Love and Blessings to all creatures, great and small.

Thank you Sherri. Life is so precious, isn’t it?
That was so beautiful! How wonderful that patty was known in the animal kingdom as a place of healing and safety.
Thank you so much, Andrea. I agree, it was a beautiful connection.
An animal’s soul is so sweet and my dog Vivi loves to communicate with me. She thinks of you often and asks that we visit daily on our walks since we both are blessed to live in the neighborhood! Thank you with love for the healing reiki you send so often! I’m reading a book about how trees communicate as well!
Thank you for your lovely comment, Barb. I love that you are reading about trees. They do have a lot to say!
