Talk to people. People are the best source of understanding sensitive topics. Talk to them before you write to get an understanding of the situation and then let them review the work, and suggest changes.
Read other works. How do other, popular, authors write sensitive topics, so they are loved by the majority of their readers? Read them and apply what you see there to your writing.
Realise it won't be perfect. No matter how hard you try someone will find it insulting due to the fact that you weren't there. So, accept that it will not be completely loved.
