unsoothed
Not yet calmed
Unsoothed describes someone or something that has not been calmed, comforted, or relieved.
A crying baby remains unsoothed when rocking fails to quiet them.
Grief may go unsoothed when no words help: She left the funeral unsoothed, still raw with loss.
The word implies that soothing was attempted or expected but didn't take hold.
