Remembering and trying to feel the joy rather than the pain

The deep pain that is felt 

at the death of every friendly soul 

arises from the feeling that 

there is in every individual 

something which is inexpressible, 

peculiar to him alone, 

and is, therefore, 

absolutely and irretrievably lost. 

~Arthur Schopenhauer
