My sweet friends!

If you have a free moment I could use some spiritual healing.

Tonight after an already emotional day I was driving home and watched as a truck hit a deer crossing the road and kept on driving, they didn’t even slow down. And unfortunately the beautiful deer did not die on impact, instead she stumbled to the side of the road.

Without even thinking, I immediately pulled over, ran across the road and rushed over to her. She was scared when I approached her but quickly calmed down as I sat down beside her, I was balling.

I stroked her fur and cried and told her how sorry I was. Her buck came to check on her, saw me and went along his way.

A few other cars pulled over to see if I needed any help and all I could do was cry. We called the police but there is not much they could or would do. 

Here I was sitting on the side of the road in the dirt, trying my best to calm this poor animal down. She was shaking and her back was arching in pain. A wild creature was letting me pet her and share my energy with her.  All I wanted to do was make sure she knew she was not alone.  I couldn’t leave her while he was still alive and scared.

It took about 10 minutes of her suffering and me petting her before she finally passed, but I am still devastated. I feel I could have done more, I keep seeing her and the image of when she was struck. I am angry at the person driving the truck *furious is more accurate* and saddened for this poor beauty.  I am just in a sad space and this is unusual for me. I am the type of person who will and has pulled over to help any animal that needs it. Some I have regrets on but nothing like this.

So here is how you can help me heal. It is one word…. Compassion!   Compassion is what separates us from the monsters in this world. This Gentle Giant was so scared, and in so much pain.  It is our responsibility to SLOW down, it is our responsibility to PAY ATTENTION and if an accident happens, it is our job to HELP.  This poor deer didn’t have to die and she deserved better then to die alone & scared. That is what I was able to do for her. I wasn’t able to prevent it, I wasn’t able to save her, but I was able to be there with her.

I will forever hold this Gentle Giants beauty in my heart and I hope you will be able to as well. Thanks so much!
