Today’s episode is a continuation of my conversation with Ron and Nan Deal. Ron is a Director with FamilyLife, the author of more than a dozen resources, and a licensed marriage and family therapist. Nan is a teacher with over 25 years of experience in public and private schools and she also volunteers in a recovery ministry. Ron and Nan travel and speak all over the country on marriage and the loss of a child, and I am grateful to have them join me again today. We had a great discussion about the marriage relationship after child loss in last week’s episode, so if you didn’t catch that one, you’ll want to go back and listen. Today we extend our conversation to include issues faced by blended families and parenting surviving children. I believe you’ll find our discussion both helpful and uplifting.
