Typically, when a death occurs, grievers often receive validation of their loss and offers of support. However, all losses are not viewed with the same reverence. In fact, some losses are not viewed as significant, are stigmatized, and not acknowledged by the larger society. These are considered disenfranchised losses. Moreover, inaccurate societal messaging can make it difficult for people to feel entitled to their grief which intensifies the mourning process. It is important to remember that all forms of grief are valid and support should be given regardless of the relationship.
