As a human we all have to taste every flavour of life whether we like it or not. Cry and show your sorrow, give yourself time to accept the truth that sadness is as much part of the life as happiness is.
Everyone have happy as well as sad phases of life. The only difference now I see in happiness and sadness is that Happiness is practiced in front of world and sadness is being practiced in loneliness. Be sad when you feel so, cry when you feel the need to, speak it out and let the words flow with your emotions, you will feel lighter.
One of the common myths is a happy life. No one can stay happy throughout their life; we have to face ups and downs of life. People often take sadness as a disease but it is just a normal type of emotion.
