PART TWO
The Tao of caring for our dying pet

“Warning!!!  This class is no ordinary class with dry, boring content.  Monique makes this class come "alive" by weaving a tapestry of her own deeply personal stories, real-life examples, and inspirational quotes, which causes the student to view animal death from an entirely different perspective.  Monique is attempting to shift the current paradigm back to honoring, respecting, and giving your animal their wishes, rather than doing what is best for ourselves, in a situation no one wants to face.  This class is a journey; it will take you places you never expected to go; it will have you questioning everything from your past decisions to your own mortality and internal process.  After this class, you will never see life the same again, in the most beautiful possible way.....".    

“Truly it's not a course about dying.  It's about living...better!  Monique teaches that the end-of-life stage is still living.  We're just following the cycles of nature.  And our animals are close to nature so they know how this all works.  Learning this has taken so much pressure off of me.   I can enjoy the moments with Sully as I support him on His journey.  We learn the stages and signs of dying, but not to expect anything - we're all unique.  We're in this Dance - sadness/confusion, but always coming back to the present moment and the frequencies of love.  Monique is very humble, teaching from a wealth of personal experiences and holding so much compassion for all of us on this journey.  This course is a gift, not just to your animal but to you yourself.  It is life-changing!".

“Through all the chaos and uncertainty of the death process, and life in general, Monique teaches us why love is the highest of all virtues to embody. We are blessed to have Monique leading the way to experience a conscious-death with our beloved pets.  Monique brings the knowledge and wisdom of the ages to her courses, and they will change your life forever. Monique's knowledgeable approach to a conscious-death experience will change your life forever. Thank you so much for your work and dedication to helping others learn/relearn about this sacred process. You truly are a blessing in my life, and to the world!"

“We have so much to understand & learn about death. Taking the WYPH course with Monique, was a huge step forward! It was an amazing class and she taught me how to view death from a peaceful, spiritual perspective. The course offers a true understanding of what happens to our pets during transition and the importance of remaining present with them while they journey home. Our pets have invaluable gifts and lessons they leave us in this life when they transition. It is up to each of us to participate in our own journey with our pet to discover what that is. The WYPH course provides a beautiful message of the unconditional love our pets provide and what their perspective is on death and dying. Euthanasia is not the only option and guilt does not need to be a part of each loss."

“As my love, a dog called Cali, began her way through illness, I became aware that death would be an important subject to understand fully in order to cope. After listening to an interview with Monique, I knew I could learn more about this topic from her. After contacting Monique and ensuring the quality of the masterclass she proposed, I enrolled. This journey, through all three masterclasses, was and remains a wonderful experience that I would highly recommend. This course gives a profound view of the death process of our beloved animals, providing us with tools and an extended knowledge of the “what-why-how” things happen. And not only … her course is very different from other courses: Monique takes us with her on a highly profound journey, through which I changed so many of my attitudes and views on animals and life. I had the wonderful opportunity to discover what real love is, how gratitude and love open new ways to make life as wise as possible, being fully human and able to find joy and gratitude behind this end-of-life journey. And as such, I would like to thank Monique for the precious gift she offered me throughout this awakening journey to love. I would also thank her for the elegance of her job as a course-creator: the visual and audio works are of great quality - a real pleasure for the eye and the mind - and she is always very generous, empathetic and solar. Thank you Monique Brignoni for having taken me to a better version of myself…for the sake of our animal companions too!"

“Walk your Pet Home is a profound teaching for anyone, whether you are a pet parent or not. In this course, Monique guided us on a journey to face the biggest fear that most of us have in this life - that of death, either our own death or that of a precious loved one. Armed with the background of knowledge she has attained through years of study across many disciplines, Monique guided us to a better understanding of ourselves, our beloved animals, and the process of life and death itself. She showed us how deeply our animals guide us on this journey, calling us to recognize the beauty of death in its natural cycle, and urging us gently to be open to its gifts. Monique shares her life's work and passion with us openly, and we are the better for it. As an Animal Reiki practitioner and teacher, I learned much from this course and recommend it without reservation to anyone who wants to go deeper and love their animal more fully on their journey home."

“Sully is my 12 year old soul puppy.  You might know what that means.  He has always been there for me. Now he's slowing down.  And he's not always there...not all the time anymore. I found myself already grieving.  But why?!!  He's still here!  That's where I was when I found Monique's Walk Your Pet Home course. I learned so much in these weeks. So much that has brought me peace of mind.  I learned that End of Life is a new phase in Sully's and my relationship.  I discovered that I was resisting death.  Which was causing me a lot of pain.  But this is only my perspective.  Not Sully's.  I learned that this is Sully's journey.  And being an animal, he's naturally remained close to nature and instinctively knows best.  Big sigh!!!  That takes so much pressure off me.  But I'm still in 'the Dance', as Monique calls it.  The consistent stream of small decisions.  How do I feel, what should I do?  Practicing being in the stillness so I can hear what Sully wants as I might be wanting one thing but he another.  And the dance of emotions.  Watching how he's changing and sometimes feeling sad, sometimes giggling at my Senior Puppy!! The big thing that really surprised me, is that my emotions affect him greatly.  Of course they do!  I know that I'm much more able to be present for Sully and when his journey comes to an end, I will honor him in the sacredness and beauty of a natural death. One thing you should know about Monique is that she has tremendous compassion for us humans, trying to do our best for our animals.  She's one of us! Yet, she's also studied death and dying and shares her knowledge openly.  I would definitely recommend taking this class to everyone who wants to give back to the animals that have devoted their lives to you. Now I am enjoying my days and moments with Sully.  They are so precious.”

" I'm a mom of five beautiful cats - 4 on this plane of existence and one - my love Odin - on the other side. Odin is the one who connect me with Monique ! Monique's soul and her being became the main reason I decided to take part on this journey! Her heart is pure and with her love and compassion she was able to really understand how very hard it was for me to have lost my precious Odin. The greatest shift that occurred in me after taking this course, is how I now view and perceive the end of one's life and how it's a passage! I also learned how important it is to give back the power to our pets, because they are more connected and aware of their body and their journey, which we can only imagine. Thank you Monique for having helped me to find light and strength in a very dark and sad time. Thank you for helping me find my way back to my Odin, my King. And for supporting me in being the best possible human I can be for all of my loved ones, all of my beloved animals and Mother Earth."

"A few weeks after my beloved cat Aramis (faithful companion for almost 18 years) left this planet, I attended a summit were Monique was giving a workshop. Losing my sweet Aramis was of course very difficult and I feeling sadness and grief. It was also difficult because my relatives absolutely didn’t understand my choices and I felt so lonely, like a Martian on earth. Was I crazy ? During the summit, Monique shared about her work and knowledge about death. I felt I was no longer alone against the “science” or even the whole western world thinking. And I wanted to know even more to be able to live the end of life of my other animal companions in a more informed and prepared way. So when Monique launched her class I immediately signed up. And I was not disappointed! I really recommend it! This class will change the way you see death and the loss of a beloved animal companion, but it will also change the way you live your day-to-day with them. Don’t wait for their final days, prepare now for the moment we all fear, so you are able to live through it with more peace and presence! Last but not least, Monique is a wonderful being, a pure heart and soul, she radiates love and compassion. And it’s contagious ! 😉 Just by spending some time with her and you will feel joy, peace, love … only good vibes ! So, TO ALL ANIMAL LOVERS, guardians of furry or feathered beings who want to give back all the love and gifts your companions give you on a daily basis: this course is for you ! Don’t hesitate, just sign up, you will not be disappointed".

“I want to say a huge thank you for creating and sharing such a beautiful course. Not only was it bursting with wonderful insights and teachings, it was also delivered with such grace and authenticity. For some while I have felt in my heart that there was a better way of accompanying our pets on their final journey and being around a group of open souls who have had the same thoughts was both humbling and empowering.”

“Trixie passed peacefully away yesterday morning. The whole experience, whilst currently still very tender for me, was beyond beautiful and I want to give you a heartfelt thank you for allowing me to step up and accompany my beautiful girl home. Whilst there is grief at losing her physical presence which I am embracing, I am joyful at the thought of what we experienced together at the end. It was the most powerful and joyful experience of my life and I owe much of that to you, your wisdom and continual words of encouragement. A week on from the day that she chose to leave her body, I am doing so well. It is amazing to me just how calm and joyful I feel as opposed to the deep sense of grief and sometimes trauma that I have felt when previous animal companions have passed. I really don't feel any of that and her energetic presence is still so strong it is wonderful.

"Our beloved pets show us with so much unconditional love.  When they enter our lives we know, at some point, we will be faced with making end of life decisions on their behalf.   Monique's Walk Your Pet Home course provides an abundance of wisdom, knowledge, understanding, and community support.  I highly recommend this course for any pet parent seeking loving comfort and guidance during their pet's transitional journey".
