Abstract
Misbereavement comes from not given space, credence, visibility and acknowledgement for what has been lost; taken or stolen from minoritized groups due to oppression, marginalization; citizen/documentation status and racialization resulting in suppressed bereavement. Thus, the purpose of this phenomenological study was to explore the grief and bereavement experiences of Latino immigrants coping with transnational deaths. In order to examine this phenomenon, the researcher conducted 10 in-depth interviews. In- depth interviews were conducted in both English and Spanish. A thematic analysis of participants?? responses was conducted to highlight the grieving and bereavement experiences of Latino immigrants in the United States which cannot be understood in isolation from their immigration status; social roles and demands in the United States; and prior migratory loss experiences. Considering the limitations of this study and the complexity of transnational grieving and bereavement, further research is needed to investigate the multitude of other factors that affect the grieving and bereavement experiences of the Latino immigrant population in the United States.
