7 May 2026, 10:40 pm - 28 minutes 19 seconds#257 A Conversation with Pet Loss Grief Coach and Certified Grief Educator Crystal Soucy
Join family therapists Ken Dolan-Del Vecchio and Nancy Saxton-Lopez for a conversation with Pet Loss Grief Coach and Certified Grief Educator Crystal Soucy.
Crystal's work is very personal and was born out of her own intense heartbreak after the passing of her beloved dog, Baci in May of 2022. She supports pet parents as they navigate anticipatory grief, the pain of loss, and the guilt or trauma that often accompanies it. Through ongoing free support groups, 1:1 sessions, and a private Facebook community, Crystal provides a safe space where grief can be openly expressed, honored, and validated. Crystal understands the special relationship shared between us humans and our companion animals and is now the proud mom of Marley, who she rescued in March of 2023.More at https://www.getcrystalclear.com
