Description
Grief is frequently associated with the LGBTQ+ experience, from fearing rejection to dealing with hate and living in constant terror of being in danger. While any form of grief is both a universal and personal experience necessary to cope with loss, the complexities of queer grief can lead to isolation, mental health challenges, and the suppression of one's authentic self.In this episode, we’re delving into the intersection of disenfranchised grief and queer grief, its unique impact on LGBTQ+ people, and how undergoing a second adolescence can serve as a transformative path towards healing, self-discovery, and reclaiming authentic identities in the face of loss and societal challenges.Additional Resources:Grief - American Psychological AssociationGrief - Cleveland ClinicWhat is Grief?The Five Stages of GriefHonoring Queer GriefWhy Queer People Need to Talk About Disenfranchised GriefDisenfranchised Grief in Queer Companionship and Chosen FamilyLGBT Identification in U.S. Ticks Up to 7.1%The Grief in Queer HealingThe Second Adolescence of LGBTQ+ AdulthoodGet Your MerchSupport the show
