LGBTQ+ grief is a multifaceted and deeply personal experience that arises from the unique challenges and adversities faced by individuals within lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and questioning communities. While grief is an integral part of the human experience, LGBTQ+ youth and adults often navigate additional layers of emotional complexity due to societal stigma, discrimination, and the struggle for acceptance in a heteronormative world. In this article we delve into the additional layers of disenfranchised, compounded, and collective grief often experienced by LGBTQ+ youth and communities. Understanding and acknowledging varying facets of grief are essential in fostering compassionate spaces where queer and trans individuals can feel seen, heard, and supported.

Many young children were unaware that their parent or sibling had a problem with alcohol, controlled substances like opiate pain medication, or with illegal drugs. Families may deny that there was a problem prior to the death and may try to hide the problem from the children. Since children typically have trouble understanding and accepting when a family member or close friend dies, this type of death is even more difficult to grieve, because the children do not fully understand the cause.
