So, who had to come out to family and friends? And who, when their partner passed away, had homophobia to deal with? Sucks doesn’t it, having a partner and a relationship that makes other people uncomfortable? Then experiencing it again when your partner is gone as those people continue not to validate your grief. As a Queer Widow, I understand disenfranchised grief (grief, that is minimized and goes unacknowledged by social norms) which can be so detrimental. As a writer I processed my loss with my memoir and I now facilitate this in my Narrative Healing workshops. Come be among others in a relaxed space to explore creative ways to celebrate the memory of your partner, honour your healing journey with writing as a self-care practice, be supported by your 2SLGBTQI peers, and create a plan for an ongoing project or creative practice to connect and support your loss.
