Practical, Christ-Centered Parenting for Families

Parenting After Loss Feels Overwhelming

You love your kids, but some days it feels impossible to hold everything together:

• Grief makes daily routines unpredictable

• Loss of a parent leaves kids anxious, angry, or withdrawn

• Guilt and confusion weigh on surviving parents

• Adverse childhood experiences spark behavioral challenges you don’t know how to solve

If you’ve ever wondered “How do I raise Christ-centered kids through grief and hardship?” — you’re not alone.

Finally: A Pediatrician and Parent Who Gets It

I’m Dr. Nathan Fleming — a board-certified pediatrician, widowed father, adoptive dad, and stepdad in a blended family. I know the research on adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and how grief shapes kids’ behavior. But I also know the 3 a.m. loneliness, the hard questions, and the ache of trying to parent while grieving myself.

"I’ve walked this road, and I want to walk it with you."
