Does anyone have links to reseach into the impact of disenfranchised grief for workers in mental health? Or evidence of practises used to recognise and honour this in practice? For example days of mourning? Many thanks

Dr Doka is here on RG so you can probably discuss this with him.

When person is depressed under mental agony offer the disturbance due to his privilege under mental condition , it is obvious that such person may get more worried under his mental disturbance . It is in this line some years I have expressed my views under similar situation for which I take liberty to express my views which I submit herewith for your perusal
The word Grief is the picture of Worries, Anxiety ,tension, & unexpected mode of thinking in our mind after knowing the nature of grief we may have an expression of sorrow in other cases if the grief is of disturbing type we have to control the grief by taking the course of our crying .
With this as human beings for grief of any nature we cannot afford to sit with the fore heading hand for which we have to control our mind & take the necessary step to control the situation of grief . In such nature if the grief is of serious nature disturbing the sentiment in such case to have the control of the same it is desirable to take recourse to spiritual way ,of religion or even power of prayer .
This may certainly help to have the control of grief .
This is my personal opinion
Here are 2 of my articles in this regard. Grief counseling is one of my clinical specialties.
