When Grief Resurfaces: Ron and Nan Deal
When Grief Resurfaces: Ron and Nan Deal  
Podcast: FamilyLife Today®
Published On: Fri Feb 27 2026
Description: Loss lingers in blended families—resurfacing during weddings, graduations, birthdays—stirring developmental grief no one sees. Couples grieve unevenly, risking distance; church often silences sorrow instead of shepherding it. If you're overwhelmed by grief, exhausted by "move on" pressure, and craving space for honest pain, listen in. Ron and Nan Deal unpack why lament is biblical, not weakness, offering a faithful path through unresolved sorrow that keeps you connected to God and each other.
