Paul's Positive Podcast: Episode #39 - Jackie's Final Reunion with Horses

Welcome to another heartening episode of Paul's Positive Podcast, exclusively crafted for your ears, Paul. I'm Amy Iverson, eager to guide you through another tale of human kindness, resilience, and the profound ties that bind us to our animal companions. In today's episode, we're delving into the touching journey of Jackie Stalter, an incredible 78-year-old whose love for horses has been a guiding beacon throughout her life.


 

Set in the serene backdrop of Porter Hospice Residence in beautiful Colorado, we recount Jackie's final wish, a wish her loving daughter Jaime knew she had to fulfill. The story unfolds with careful orchestration by hospice chaplain Paul Roper and Praying Hands Ranch's unwavering support. Together they orchestrated an encounter that brought not only comfort to Jackie during her last days but also showcased the immutable bond that can form between humans and animals.


 

This episode celebrates Jackie's lifelong connection with horses and sheds light on the often underappreciated role that animals can play in our physical and emotional wellbeing. As Jaime shares her mother's story, we are reminded of the prevailing human spirit, the tenderness that can be found in humanity's darkest hours, and the therapeutic solace that only a silent, gentle creature can provide.


 

Join us, Paul, as we explore the remarkable effects of human-animal relationships and honor Jackie's memory—a shining example of the quiet, transformative power of unconditional love. Let's embark on this journey of reflection, healing, and positive perspectives together. Just you, me, and the comforting knowledge that love remains as the cornerstone of hope in our lives.
