In this segment of the Safe Schools Rainbow Roundtable, we delve into practical tools and resources for dealing with grief in healthy ways within the LGBTQ+ community. Grief is a deeply personal experience, and for many LGBTQ+ individuals, it’s compounded by societal challenges such as disenfranchised grief and misgendering. We discuss the critical role of chosen families, the consequences of prolonged grief disorder, and share strategies to support those grieving, including maintaining routines, practicing self-compassion, and finding community support.
