How do you deal with sadness and loss?

I ususlly eat a lot of food and every kind of food when I feel sad. Sometimes I go shopping, butt that isn't a good idea. Because you may find out those thing you bought when you felt actually you don't need. Having a talk with your friend should be a good way to deal with sadness. Seeing a comedic movie would help you feeling better. At times, I just cry it out.

There will be a rain cloud over your head, thats ok.. The rain are your tears. Let the tears flow....they will stop. The sun will shine again.

Sadness poisons our lives. Strange, but sometimes seem to us resigned to it. Why do we tolerate this? "Cohabitation" with sadness conceal a reluctance to consider it harmful to our lives. The fact that we indulge in this state shows that we got a good feeling to think, believe that there is nobility in suffering. Sadness is the struggle between opposites. Sad man will perceive as an internal emotional conflict, a dissatisfaction, a spiritual malaise, finally, an expression of his spiritual life unfulfillment. Man sad face obstacles because in his aspiration to happiness. Man by nature is irresistibly driven to experience sadness to what accompanies life. And concludes that philosophical attempt to conquer the completeness and inner harmony, to achieve, so, true happiness, is designed to fail. Life would run into happiness so missed. But happiness is just very unhappy missed. And if you meditate more deeply on things, we realize that misery can not be equated with happiness missed the equivalent of absolute misery because, somewhere, has crept here, subconscious feeling of happiness. And who found that the aspiration to happiness irreparably degrade the relentless contact with reality, you will also discover that degrades her unhappiness that eventually leads to devolve life. The human soul is so constituted always tends to decrease further unhappiness.

Yaa I am Agree with your point, but in my opinion Angry and sadness create lots of violence , take all thing lightly and try to solve all problems rather than show some angry mood or frustration.

In simple english, the thought that one would be stronger after such events would drive one to deal with sadness and loss. What to do, u ask? You exhaust yourself, cry your eyes out, curse if you must and cry some more. And when you've numbed that's when you would realize that you can get through, that you can still go on, probably coz you're heart can't feel no more or maybe you're enlightened. And u talk to someone, share your grief because you are not the only one in the world who's been hurt or sad or lost someone.

I think that no matter the greatness of the loss we will never forget it, but we will grow to overcome the hurt that it may have caused. I have had several losses in my life and they have hurt me deeply but I am trying to cope with them and learn to handle it. I am not completely over the loss of my best friend but when I get to a sad point and I am thinking of him I try to remind myself that he wouldn't want me to be sad. Everyone deals with it differently.

Once the finer and/or other business is taken care of, I simply leave town fir a few weeks, so I don't have to listen to everyone's cliches and platitudes.

sadness and loss are part of life like happiness and gain we all try to get happiness and gain but sometimes we end up in sadness and loss definetly it shook our self confidence but we must remember and mistakes as natural phenomenon and must rectify all to our best ........ Hare Krishna Ganesh

Hi Pose: Thanks for these kind words. In my personal situation, when I have to pass through a terrible situation I usually try to be alone to think about this person who has gone or just to think about my life. We sometimes need a time to think and know what are we doing with our lives and find something possitive there. ALVARO

We all face some difficult moments in our life, sadness and loss is a part of human life. The important thing is how skilled are we to deal these things. Positing thinking is good to cope up with these and also some other activity that refresh our mind will work I believe.

I agree with you. When we experience great sadness or loss we can learn a lot. It's not always easy to deal with these things and we would rather not experience such a loss. But when we do we try and strengthen ourself and others as well during difficult times.

It depends on the kind of sadness and loss how I deal with it and what I feel. It's never the same. I never feel far dissapointed but can feel disappointed. Being angry gives strengh to fight back instead of losing my self-confidence or getting depressed. Nothing wrong with that.

Sometimes its hard to see the bright light at the end of the tunnel, and if we do its usually a train. We can get so caught up in our heads and our emotions that we dont see straight and everything can seem hopeless and worse than it really is. Even if you know for a fact that is the case, you still feel that way, and feeling that way can make you turn in on yourself, like you said with feeling far too dissapointed and angry. I do think it can help a little, hope being the ultimate pick me up, but if it is dashed time and again, or you wallow too much, it can be difficult to snap out of. Ultimatly you have to force yourself out of the funk and go out and do the things you dont feel like doing as you are sad, and stop focusing on it - in order to get out of the sad feeling. Learning can come about, but if you self examine too much it may just get you down even more.
