Description
Tamara Rodríguez Pérez and three colleagues scope, in a 2026 review, research on grief among LGBTQ+ adults in health and end-of-life care. Bereavement for this group is often complicated by stigma, hidden relationships, and services built around straight norms.
Six databases were searched for work published between 2021 and 2026, and only seven primary studies survived screening, most of them qualitative and from English-speaking countries. Four themes recurred: minority stress, the difficulty of disclosure, grief that society refuses to recognise, and thin professional training. Transgender people were scarce in those studies, and quantitative or intersectional work was largely missing.
