unconsoled
Left without solace
Unconsoled describes someone who remains in grief or distress, not having received or accepted comfort.
The word suggests that attempts at consolation have either failed or not been offered: She sat unconsoled in the corner, refusing all company.
It carries a sense of ongoing sorrow that persists despite—or in the absence of—others' efforts to ease it.
