#138 Life After Loss: Notes from Listeners Whose Stories We First Shared in May, 2023, and Aug, 2022

Join family therapists and authors Ken Dolan-Del Vecchio and Nancy Saxton-Lopez as we share two letters from two listeners whose stories we first shared some time ago. We first shared Rupa's story about her beloved Kiki on 5/4/23 and Debbie's story about her beloved Tessa on 8/25/22. Their letters teach us something about the ups and downs of grief as our lives continue to change and move forward. Reach Ken at [email protected]; Nancy at [email protected] We are happy to announce our affiliation with Bereave, a company that offers beautifully crafted granite pet memorial plaques.
