Join family therapists and authors Nancy Saxton-Lopez and Ken Dolan-Del Vecchio as we share two stories from audience members. The first, from Kara about her beloved Cairn terrier, Frankie, is about how Kara is beginning to move beyond the self-blame she's been struggling with. The second, from Brittany about her "first baby," Mia, a King Charles Spaniel, describes the transcendent moment of Mia's passing from this life.
