Savoring sadness
It hurts more if you fight against it. "Accept your pain: it will hurt less" is a wise advice. It doesn't mean to get lost in your pain, to start chronically self pitying, nor to become a biter person towards life. It means stop denying it and desperately fighting against it.
Pain and sadness are part of life and feeling them is part of being human. If we are to be grateful for our ability to feel we gotta embrace every aspect of it. Also because the experience of joy, happiness and pleasure would not be the same without their antithesis. We only know what is light because we have experienced dark. That is really the easiest way for us to comprehend something, we understand what it is by comparing it to what it is not.
Yes it hurts. And yes it sucks sometimes. But suffering is part of the package, we all suffer, there is no scape, so we might as well just live our suffering as we should live our whole life: with passion.
So put on some Vivaldi, pump up the volume and welcome the tears that will caress your face. Feel the pain in your chest as proof you are still alive, feel the embrace of the warm salty water washing your beautiful eyes. Now keep them closed and let the music have a conversation with your suffering. The crying violins will show you that you belong, your misery resonates in the universe and encounters the universe's misery that is always present.
You might find out that pain and sadness never come alone, they are usually together with strength, even if this last one appears to be shy. If you give strength space it will finally show itself and become the protagonist of the trio.
Maybe, if you give space to manifest your pain and savor your sadness. If you treat it as a bodily sensation as all the other ones. It might lead you to its antithesis on the other end, where they inevitably meet. You will see there is joy in the end, together and within sadness. I know, it sounds mad, but just give it a try.
Don't limit yourself with contentment, don't become complacent. Live to the fullest, the good and bad moments, and get out of it changed for the better.
