Disconsolate followers!

A popular Chief Minister was sent to gallows last week. The reactions from her followers and fans were on expected lines considering the following she has had. The expression used to describe  these followers and fans was 'disconsolate'. 
Disconsolate is our word of the week. It reflects a state that's beyond consolation. When someone is filled with grief or is hopelessly dispirited he or she is said to be disconsolate. The expression also finds mention in fiction and poetry often referring to cheerlessness as in - the disconsolate loneliness of a moonless night.
