#91 "It Was All My Fault!" When Our Decisions are Linked to the Loss of Our Pet

Join family therapists and authors Nancy Saxton-Lopez and Ken Dolan-Del Vecchio as we share Catherine's heart-wrenching story of her cat being killed by a coyote. We'll talk about this situation and share our own stories about personal decisions being linked to a pet's death, and we'll share strategies for living with this kind of loss.  

We welcome your comments, questions and suggestions for future topics. Nancy can be reached at nsaxtonlopez@csmpc.com and Ken at kenddv@gmail.com. When you send us a personal story please mention whether or not you would be okay with us sharing it within a future episode.
