If you've never heard the phrase "disenfranchised grief" - this episode will introduce you to a real-life example, and a lot of you will relate to it. Disenfranchised grief is when a person loses something or someone important, but their loss is not valued or recognized by others. The term was coined by Dr. Kenneth J. Doka in 1989. This concept describes the fact that some forms of grief are not acknowledged on a personal or societal level in modern day Eurocentric culture.
