This is an important discussion to have and I’m looking forward to seeing what you have to say in the rest of the series.
One concept that I wish more people knew about, and might be particularly relevant to this community, is disenfranchised grief, which is grief that is not understood or accepted by society or the people around you. If a relative dies, it is easy to receive support and understanding, even from complete strangers. If you are grieving about something that’s e.g. difficult to explain, taboo, a secret, or unrelatable to most people, then you might end up processing your grief alone, which can suck.

Yeah I think the concept of disenfranchised or inexplicable seems really important.
