🎙️ Episode 9 – The Different Types of Grief: Disenfranchised Grief
The Grief Guardian Podcast with Grant Cosgrove

What if your grief isn’t seen… or worse—dismissed?

In this episode, we dive into Disenfranchised Grief—a form of grief that’s real, yet often unrecognised by others. When society tells you your loss “doesn’t count” or expects you to just move on, that pain doesn’t go away—it gets buried.

If you’ve ever felt like your grief wasn’t valid, acknowledged, or even allowed… this episode is here to hold space for you.

You’ll discover:
🚫 What Disenfranchised Grief is (and why it’s so often invisible)
⚠️ Common signs—from stigma and silence to suppressed sadness
💔 Examples of overlooked losses: miscarriage, suicide, pet loss, identity loss, estrangement, and more
🧠 The emotional, mental, physical, social, and spiritual toll of unrecognised grief
💬 How to honour your grief when the world won’t
🛡️ Coping strategies to protect your heart and find healing in your own way

💬 “Just because they don’t see your grief… doesn’t mean it isn’t real. You don’t need permission to feel what you feel.”

You don’t have to justify your grief to anyone. And you don’t have to go through it alone.
