Reply To: Staying happy as an older single

I think every nisayon. contains within it the aspect of potential sadness, but as you have read, it’s also balanced by the potential for overcoming and feeling true joy despite the “legitimate” right to be sad. May Hashem grant each of us the strength to be joyful, and believe me, in accordance with the sadness one could have claimed, he/she will be rewarded for valiantly plodding forward with as much joy as possible.This is like surfing the waves, sometimes the wave overtakes you. But not for too long, because very soon you are on top of the waves again, enjoying the ride.
