The experience of same-sex-attracted people who have lost a partner is neglected in the existing literature on bereavement. Previous research on lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, queer and questioning (LGBTIQ) populations tends to focus on the loss of a partner to HIV-related causes, and there is scant research concerning non-HIV-related bereavement. The purpose of this article is to investigate the non-HIV-related bereavement experiences of same-sex partners and to address the potential complications of disenfranchised grief. Coping with the loss of a same-sex partner and the impact of bereavement on subsequent relationships are also discussed. Implications for counseling of bereaved same-sex-attracted individuals are drawn, and recommendations for future psychological research on the experience of bereavement are made.
在现有的关于丧亲之痛的文献中，失去伴侣的性取向为同性的人群的经历被忽视了。先前针对女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋、跨性别者、双性人、酷儿及性取向存疑者（LGBTIQ）群体的研究往往聚焦于因与艾滋病相关的病因导致的伴侣离世，而关于与艾滋病无关的丧亲之痛的研究却很少。本文旨在调查同性伴侣与艾滋病无关的丧亲之痛经历，并探讨被剥夺权利的悲伤可能引发的并发症。文中还讨论了应对同性伴侣离世以及丧亲之痛对后续关系的影响。得出了对丧偶的性取向为同性的个体进行咨询的启示，并对未来关于丧亲之痛经历的心理学研究提出了建议。
