It is good to miss things.
It is testament to the fact that you enjoyed something in life so worth feeling sad about its absence.
Sadness in loss is not one dimensional. It is the opposite of joy in possession. Part of a balance.
In this sense, even when you feel sad, an element of joy exists. You cannot ever be without joy, not even in your lowest moments. And in this, we can find such hope. Your sadness is a mere tipping of a balance, a balance which can just as easily be tipped back the other way.
Take comfort in the sadness from your losses. Let them humble you, ground you and teach you.
When you have an understanding of this balance and you recognise that joy and sadness are but two ends of the same scale, you can learn how to maintain yourself in the middle. You can find a place of mutual balance in your life.
You will be able to rejoice in moments of sorrow - for you appreciate that you would not feel sad over something that had not provided such pleasure.
You will be able to mourn in moments of joy - for you know that it is through personal hurt and hardships that you are able to feel such gratitude for good things.
You come to control your experience of such feelings, you lead them instead of being led by them. You are comfortable with both joy and sadness and can thus live them both in harmony.
