Complicated grief can result in longstanding psychological issues such as depression and substance abuse.
One group that is at particular risk for CG is older lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) individuals. This population is significantly represented in Most Holy Redeemer Catholic Church (MHR) …
