JOURNEY THROUGH PET LOSS

An actress turned therapist chronicles her feelings about the loss of her beloved dog, Yoko. Antinori expresses the grief process through original poetry and shares important resources. She also encourages listeners to take their own paths in experiencing grief. Antinori reads with sensitivity and compassion, clearly indicating she is close to the subject matter. Sounding wistful, she describes all the happy years with Yoko. Her sentimentality may be too palpable for some listeners, but those in similar circumstances will probably relate to her emotions.
