# 128 "How Do We Support Each Other When We're All Struggling?"

Join family therapists and authors Ken Dolan-Del Vecchio and Nancy Saxton-Lopez as we share stories sent by Amy about her family's beloved German shorthaired pointer, Coach, and Marcia about her beloved beagle, Hunter. Amy's words are the title for this episode as she, her husband, and two children are all grieving the loss of this special dog. Marcia shares the tragic story of her dog being attacked by another dog. We are happy to announce our affiliation with Bereave, a company that offers beautifully crafted granite pet memorial plaques.
