Zusammenfassung	The Disenfranchised Grief Scale (DGS), developed from Kenneth J. Doka's conceptual framework, assesses grief that society does not recognize, validate, or support—grief that is excluded from public mourning rituals, openly acknowledged grief ceremonies, or institutional support. Examples include loss of a former spouse, affair partner, ex-partner, friend (not family), pet, or pregnancy loss. The DGS captures the unique burden of grieving without social permission or recognition.	The Grief Experience Questionnaire (GEQ) is a multidimensional measure developed by Barrett and Schneweis in 1980 to assess the breadth of emotional, cognitive, and existential experiences reported by bereaved individuals. Rather than focusing on pathology or symptom severity, the GEQ captures the diverse phenomenology of grief—including yearning, social withdrawal, guilt, anger, disorientation, and existential questioning—providing a comprehensive portrait of the grief experience.
