Praise for The Animal Communicators Guide Through Life, Loss and Love
A grounded account of real-life communications, this book puts us straight into the minds and hearts of the animals who speak through Pea. The astonishing depth and breadth of what our animals have to tell us is immensely touching and meaningful. An unforgettable read!
Anna Breytenbach, professional interspecies communicator and subject of the feature documentary, The Animal Communicator
As people face pet loss, their devastation is compounded by fear and guilt. With the help of her dog, Morgan, Pea Horsley illuminates the transition to the afterlife with true stories of animals who communicate when they choose to leave their physical bodies. This book offers hope in a time of sadness.
Allen and Linda Anderson, founders of Angel Animals Network and authors of Saying Goodbye to Your Angel Animals
A book of deeply touching stories of the sacred and deep bond between animals and humans. I could feel the animals and their people almost right in front of me. It was very compelling!
Teresa Wagner, animal communicator, Animalsinourhearts.com
Once again Pea Horsley has brought tears to this vets eyes, touching me deeply with her astoundingly accurate and emotionally charged stories of what animals (and their owners) experience and gift us in the period around their passing out of this world. I highly recommend this book and its compatriot, Heart to Heart, not only to those wanting to know more about animal communication but to everyone who literally wants to experience what it is to be truly present to all our animal companions.
Tom Farrington, MVB, MRCVS, VetMFHom
Readers who have loved and lost will feel informed and enriched after reading this book. Pea answers deep questions, revealing insights that will help hearts to heal. Be ready for an emotional journey.
Sue Parslow, editor, Your Cat magazine
Dealing with the death of your animal is hard for everyone. It helps to explore the possibility that your animal continues to be with you in spirit after death. Pea Horsleys book helps ease the pain of losing an animal and opens the door to new perceptions of life and death.
Marta Williams, biologist and animal communicator, author of My Animal, My Self, Learning Their Language, Ask Your Animal and Beyond Words
After reading about Peas experiences and the messages from animals during and after their transition from this life, you will understand more about how they feel, which will help to ease your grief and bring acceptance, peace, and eternal communion.
Penelope Smith, founding animal communication specialist, author of Animal Talk, When Animals Speak and Animals in Spirit
When I was asked to read these true-life stories from Pea Horsley, I wasnt prepared for the emotional and inspirational content of the tales. I was moved and intrigued by the warmth, honesty and love that came through on the page. I would recommend this book, sensitively written and from the heart, to anyone who wants to know about the work of an animal communicator and for those who seek comfort and insight from those who have passed before us.
Avril Price, senior tutor and consultant, the College of Psychic Studies
This is a must-read book for all those who love their animals and wish to approach their animals end-times with great compassion, understanding, and sensitivity. You will laugh and you will cry, and you will come to a place of absolute knowing regarding the oneness of all life and that love is eternal.
Elizabeth Severino, DRS, animal communicator and spiritual healer, author of The Animals Viewpoint on Dying, Death and Euthanasia
Pea takes a fresh look at pet loss from an entirely new perspective, one that offers the hope and comfort that owners are seeking. The touching and inspiring stories in her book signify that death is not the end, but rather the start of a new journey. Peas book will give owners an important insight into animal communication and ultimately bring them closer to their animals.
Kevin Spurgeon, director of the Association of Pet Cemeteries and Crematoria (APPCC.org.uk) and a partner at the award-winning Dignity pet crematorium in Hampshire
Pea Horsley, animal communicator, gifted writer and friend, is possessed of an acute awareness, love and understanding of the animals with whom we share our living space. In this, her second book, Pea continues to inspire us with her boundless compassion for our animal companions during life and in death.

This book is dedicated to
All those facing loss, grieving for a loved one or caring for the grieving.
All the animals in heaven and on Earth who are a constant source of inspiration.
And Morgan who gave me my wings.
I have lost count of the number of people who have said to me Id love to have been a vet, but I couldnt cope with putting pets to sleep. And, as every vet will freely acknowledge, euthanasia is the most difficult and distressing task to have to carry out, especially as it happens on a regular basis. There are few careers that involve the frequent and intentional taking of life.
But for most vets, the greatest difficulty does not arise from actually carrying out the euthanasia. In fact, as long as a pets life is ended to prevent pain and suffering, and is ended calmly and peacefully, there can be a certain sense of satisfaction in bringing that life to a close. The main problem for the majority of vets is coping with the distress of the person or family who has been caring for that pet, often for many years.
