Ways to Deal with Sadness

To manage the feelings of sadness that come with the end of a close relationship or the death of a loved one, experts advise the following: allow yourself to be sad and cry if you feel like you need to; listen to music or spend time with family and friends; think about the context of the sad feelings; remember that emotions are changing and will come and go; and know when sadness turns into depression and get help if this happens.
