Does 不幸{ふこう} always carry a "stronger" idea than 悲{かな}しみ?


From jisho.org:

> # **不幸{ふこう}**
>
> unhappiness; sorrow; misfortune; disaster; accident; death
> ([source](http://jisho.org/word/%E4%B8%8D%E5%B9%B8))

> # **悲{かな}しみ**
>
> sadness; sorrow; grief

After looking at this, it seems to me that although both words mean sadness,
the presence of the other "more drastic" meanings in 不幸{ふこう} such as
_disaster_ and _death_ contribute for the word 不幸{ふこう} to be interpreted as a
stronger/deeper sadness. Am I correct? **Does the word 不幸{ふこう} always carry a
heavier idea of sadness?**




"不幸" is an event. There are various events of "不幸."

If you loose your partner or child, you must be shocked and deeply saddened
"深く悲しむ（悲しみを覚える）" by the death of a loved one.

If you gamble away all your money, you might get to be mad about what happened
to you, insted of "悲しむ(feel 悲しみ)."

"不幸" is an event, and "不幸" mostly make people feel sadness, but it depends on
the nature of the event of "不幸(unhappiness)."
