The movie If These Walls Could Talk 2 provides an excellent yet heartbreaking example of how the lack of acceptance of gay and lesbian relationships can complicate grief both while caring for a loved one and once the loved one has passed away. In the film, set in the early 1960s, Edith and Abby, a couple which has been together for 30 years, have kept the true nature of their relationship mostly private. However, when Abby dies unexpectedly, her nephew (who lives in another city) comes to town to wrap up her affairs, leaving Edith to cope with the loss of her lifelong lover and companion in isolation. Edith not only experiences grief, but also faces the prospect of losing the love of her life, her home and her personal belongings. All while alone.
