Shernoff shares information about the tragedy that occurred regarding social recognition of a gay man 's relationship with his partner that died. The explanation is in regard of how often the widowed partner is blamed for their partner’s death. He talks about how the partner that survives normally does not receive sympathy, or help through the grieving process from family members or co-workers. It’s all because of those who do not believe that a gay relationship is equivalent of a marriage. In this 1996 book, Crisis of Meaning: How Gay men Are Making Sense of AIDS, psychologist Steven Schwartzberg states: "The heterosexual widow or widower whom loses their partner receives social support and condolences. Gay men whom have been widowed are more likely to be scorned, ostracism, blame, or fear.”
