#28 Our Season of Loss

Join authors and family therapists Ken Dolan-Del Vecchio and Nancy Saxton-Lopez for a conversation about living beyond the loss of our beloved animal companions. On April 29th Nancy shared the loss of her much-loved pug, Molly. This time we'll get personal again as Ken lost his beloved Chihuahua, Isabel, this past Saturday. We'll talk about how we cope personally with our losses and also about how differences such as ethnicity, spirituality, family background, and current personal circumstances shape the way people grieve.    As always, we welcome your comments, questions and suggestions for future topics. Nancy can be reached at [email protected] and Ken at [email protected].   The Pet Loss Companion (book) on Amazon. This program is a friend of Dakin Humane Society in Springfield, Mass.
