soheil1Mean you didn't expect the event?Focusing on the word "mean", I have to answer "No". "dismay" does not mean "unexpected".
Nevertheless, unexpected events can cause dismay, if that's what you're asking.

soheil1Only unexpected events?No. Everybody dies eventually, so death is not unexpected, but the death of a relative or close friend can cause dismay.
Nevertheless, I suppose most cases involve something unexpected (and upsetting).
