　The children who live in alternative care experience many losses and griefs in their upbringing before, during, and after receiving alternative care. But because of the non-death losses which they experience tend to be less important than the mortal losses, or they are regarded rescue from abusive relationship, the losses have never cared enough. Therefore, the griefs associated with such losses are remained as the disenfranchised griefs in them. Owing to such losses and griefs often become obvious as children’s problematic behavior, they need to be provided with appropriate care. In addition, alternative caregivers (e.g., foster parent; care worker) also experience many losses, but those are disregarded, and they experience the disenfranchised griefs, too. As a result, the alternative caregivers are unable to adequately care for the losses of the children. In this paper, the viewpoints for comprehensive understanding and support to the losses and griefs in alternative care are discussed through the literature review.
