Flash of light when my dog passed away
Trigger warning-- this involves a few details about my dog's passing (not in graphic detail though). It was as peaceful as it could be.
He was 14 and a half, lovely lovely pup-- we were connected on such a deep level-- almost like we could read each others' minds. I had him for eight years. He had a lot of health issues, though, but luckily I had the time and money to care for him properly. But he had back issues, a heart murmur, skin issues, dry eye issues, pancreatitis tendencies... but with good veterinary care, everything was under control for a very long time. Ultimately, congestive heart failure due to the murmur got him.
Yesterday, I took him into the vet to see what was wrong... he was acting sick and belly was hurting. And it turns out he had multi organ failure. The only decision to be made was to help him pass. As I cuddled him, the vet was administering the medicines to help him cross over, and I had my eyes closed sort of cuddled up into his neck. I saw a flash of white light with my eyes closed....almost like the flash went through me, if that makes sense. I am aware that it could have been my eyes playing tricks on me-- but is this a thing that happens to people when someone around them dies? I am not telling people in my life about this... but just wanted to know if anyone else out there had a similar experience.
