Helen Radiated Light
Animal Stories from All-Creatures.org

FROM Lighthouse Farm Sanctuary
January 2022

From the moment we met Helen, our lives changed forever. She radiated light, she was pure magic.

It is with unbearable sadness that we share the news that our beloved Helen has passed away.

From the moment we met Helen, our lives changed forever. She radiated light, she was pure magic.

There will never be another like her and even though the grief is all consuming we can’t help but be so grateful that we were given the greatest gift to love her and to be loved by her. Her physical body is gone, but her spirit remains. She is in the trees and the starry night sky, in every sunrise and sunset, in the warm summer breeze, in the gentle glow of the moon, and in the first sweet smells of spring. Helen is everywhere all the time. Helen had a beautiful, long life filled with friendship and love — we never went ONE DAY without letting her know how loved she is. Not one single day.

What I will miss most are her warm hugs that smelled like sunshine, her gentle calm breathing, her absolute joy in simple pleasures like a fresh apple, a big juicy watermelon in the height of summer, a warm embrace from a friend. I will miss her unwavering and constant companionship above all else. There will never be words to adequately express how much she meant to us, to everyone who was fortunate enough to meet her.

We want to extend our gratitude to Lisa, who saved Helen when she was just 4 days old and gave her a beautiful life for 14 years before she came to the sanctuary. Without Lisa’s beautiful heart, we would have never been given the gift of knowing Helen.

Thank you to everyone for loving Helen all these years and spreading her message of unconditional love all over the world. Please take care of yourselves.

Helen, my dearest friend, thank you. I love you I love you I love you. Forever.
