You may be surprised at how using your sense of sight, creativity, imagination, and curiosity in these ways shifts your mind and body toward a new way of being. All these memory-making activities are bittersweet, because they remind us of sweet, happier times with the person we love and the bitter sadness we feel knowing that this person is now gone from our everyday life. These activities can teach us that joy and sadness are both part of life.

Finding Joy and Happiness

Sadness is not the opposite of joy or happiness. These emotions are all part of life. However, living in a home filled with sadness can be too much at times. It’s okay to escape the sadness and have fun or be happy even when you feel grief. Doing so does not disrespect the person who died, take away your grief, change what happened, or mean you are heartless or horrible. You are human, and humans can only take so much sadness before they need to find relief, even when someone they love has died.

When it seems as though every day is a sad day, find a way to also see joy and happiness. Doing so will take your concentrated effort. Give the search just a few minutes each day, if that’s all you can spare or think you can bear.
