Disenfranchised grief is a loss that is not recognized or validated by others or society. It can add additional suffering to the already painful experience of grief. There are ways to navigate disenfranchised grief, including seeking professional support, validating your loss and feelings, prioritizing self-care, journaling, and joining a support group with others who can relate to or understand your specific loss.
