Equal bereavement for same sex partners

Article

O'LEARY, Richard

Earlier this year many of us watched on our TV screens pictures from Northern Ireland of a funeral. The funeral of Lyra McKee. Lyra was a 29-year-old journalist at work in Derry when she was shot dead. Her funeral was a public event which took place in Belfast's Anglican cathedral. Lyra was also a partner, the partner of Sara Canning. Sara was left without the love of her life. At the funeral Sara was surrounded by a loving family, friends, and colleagues from Lyra's work. Sara's grief and bereavement were afforded public acknowledgement by family, clergymen and others. This is how it should be. But are all lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans (LGBT) persons supported in their bereavement? I am reminded of my own experience of bereavement since the death in 2013 of my partner, Mervyn.
