When blending families means navigating loyalty to a deceased parent

My boyfriend and I are talking about moving in together but his teenage kids are still protective of their mom's memory and I don't know how to be part of their family without feeling like I'm erasing her or competing with someone I never met. He wants us all to feel comfortable but doesn't know how to help us get there.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Creating new family bonds after loss requires everyone to expand their understanding of love's capacity without diminishing what came before.
