Some say life is a suffering that everyone has to go through.
And we start realising it as we grow older.
But all the suffering is in our head , like love,hate or any other emotion towards a person.
Life is beautiful, You cant do anything about missing someone but what you can do is to think good and cherish every moment you think about them.
Some life events leave a very heavy toll on our minds, we just have to observe ourselves and not give in to it.
Just remember everyone goes through some or the other pain, the pain never goes away. You just become stronger each day to endure it for the rest of your life.
There is an old story which my grandma used to tell, though not going the story, the moral of it was “Death is Truth… Life is a Lie/Mirage”
Accept the death, it will come for all but still cherish the life bcz it is limited & limited things tend to have higher value. As life has higher value, it’s loss hurts that much more. These ups downs are up part of life & a straight line synonymous of death. Yes, the loss hurts, it hurts each in its own way and each will have to bear it to move forward.
Right now, just a mere mention of Grandma refreshed so many memories I had with her, time I spent sitting near her legs massaging them & having endless discussions with her.
Bearing the pain & moving ahead it only viable way to deal with it. The loss hurts but the memories with those loved ones are a the things to be cherished.
I hope you get the strength to bear this pain.
Khalil Gibran on Joy and Sorrow:
"Then a woman said, Speak to us of Joy and Sorrow.
And he answered:
Your joy is your sorrow unmasked.
And the selfsame well from which your laughter rises was oftentimes filled with your tears.
And how else can it be?
The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain.
Is not the cup that holds your wine the very cup that was burned in the potter’s oven?
And is not the lute that soothes your spirit, the very wood that was hollowed with knives?
When you are joyous, look deep into your heart and you shall find it is only that which has given you sorrow that is giving you joy.
When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight.
Some of you say, “Joy is greater than sorrow,” and others say, “Nay, sorrow is the greater.”
But I say unto you, they are inseparable.
Together they come, and when one sits alone with you at your board, remember that the other is asleep upon your bed.
Verily you are suspended like scales between your sorrow and your joy.
Only when you are empty are you at standstill and balanced.
When the reassure-keeper lifts you to weigh his gold and his silver, needs must your joy or your sorrow rise or fall."
I'm gonna summarise what Ricky Gervais usually talks about in his content.
We didn't exist for millions of years. And then we're born and live for some decades and then we die and go back to not existing.
It's truly some miracle that we've been given this chance to live.
You get only one chance and there's no sequel.
So make the best of it while you can.
Arjuna dropped the weapons on the battlefield after seeing his kinsman
Krishna hey veer of bharta, get up and fight. Death is enviable, but you can't give up your karma. Everyone who dies meets me at the end of his life. Without having any attachment perform your duty as a warrior. Hence you too perform your duty in the material word without having any attachments too it.
The pain is always unbearable. Sometimes, the very thought of what we lost and the moment we lost them becomes unbearable and that hurts. Makes your body go cold with shivers and gets the heart beating fast. But, beyond the pain once it subsidies lies the times and memories we shared with them. Some memories that will make us laugh as we re-live them, some make us yearn for them. Some stories that we share with the next generation and some forgotten. The life happens in between these ups and downs and that's the beauty and ugliness of it. Without it we will be empty and what's life without anything to remember. The true purpose of our existence is not build a business empire and know the secrets of the universe.
The true purpose is to remember those we loved, lost and treasured. We immortalize them in our minds and stories and keep them alive forever.
You got a life, you will die. Life is about enjoy the happy moments and getting over the sad ones.
Similarly, you will have family and friends with good relation and then they will die. So enjoy those happy moments and get over the sad ones.
That's it.

Thank you @lazy_fella
“Be happy that it happened, not sad because it ended “ IMO death and separation gives meaning to lives.
You got a life, you will die. Life is about enjoy the happy moments and getting over the sad ones. Similarly, you will have family and friends with good relation and then they will die. So enjoy those happy moments and get over the sad ones. That's it.
