Disenfranchised grief

Disenfranchised grief is when someone is feeling very sad or upset because of a loss, like when a person dies or when a pet goes away, but people don't seem to care or don't understand how sad they are feeling. It's called "disenfranchised" because you feel like you are not getting the support or help you need to feel better from people around you, like family and friends. It can be really hard because you might feel like nobody else is going through the same thing as you or like nobody else is feeling the same sadness as you. It's important to remember that your feelings are real and valid, even if others don't seem to understand them completely. It might be helpful to talk to someone like a counselor who can listen and help you process your feelings.
