#97 "We Were Meant to Take Care of Her, But She Ended Up Taking Care of Us"

Join family therapists and authors Nancy Saxton-Lopez and Ken Dolan-Del Vecchio as we share Jennifer's story about her Reuben, a dog who was not only a cherished family member but also a YouTube personality, and David's story about his beloved cat, CC. Starting life as a kitten rescued from the streets of New York City, CC became a crucial support for David through two major losses before her own passing.    Here's Reuben's memorial video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NkfCgOVET68 To support our work on this podcast with a one-time gift: Venmo @Ken-Dolan-DelVecchio or PayPal (https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/kenddv?country.x=US&locale.x=en_US) To support this podcast with a monthly subscription: https://anchor.fm/kenneth-dolan-del-vecchio/support The Pet Loss Companion (book) on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Pet-Loss-Companion-Healing-Therapists/dp/1484918266/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=pet+loss+companion&qid=1612535894&sr=8-3mpa...
