Honestly...During the Great Depression it didn't matter how much of an optimist you were, you were still fked.
I have always been one to let myself feel the negative feelings...perversely by letting yourself go where you need to be is ultimately an optismistic stance.
There are times when you should feel depressed...the death or illness of a loved one for example SHOULD make you depressed. If you don't feel that way something ain't right in Denmark folks.
For a very close family member or friend....at least a year...to let yourself work it out.
Now here is what people don't realize..if you don't let yourself be...and feel all those nasty feelings..guess what you never resolve the issue and I can guarntee you it will come back and haunt you in some way.
Or maybe I should say it another way...it will resolve itself one way or another, maybe decades later.
Anyway I got off topic..
