I read this today and it gave me hope

In this sad world of ours, sorrow comes to all.
It comes with bittersweet agony.
Perfect relief is not possible, except with time.
You cannot now realize that you will ever feel better. And, yet, this is a mistake.
You are sure to be happy again. To know this, which is certainly true, will make you less miserable now.
I have experienced enough to know what I say.
