As a minority group, the LGBTQIA+ community has felt a unique emotional stress, meaning that the death of someone significant in life can be disproportionately challenging. A person’s experience of the AIDS crisis, higher rates of suicide, and hate crimes may trigger depression or other mental health challenges related to grief and loss.
