"In
the
first
place,
let
employment
be
resorted
to
by
the
sorrowing,
do
not
indulge
in
tears;
do
not
sit
alone:
abstain,
for
a
time,
from
music;
abstain
from
the
perusal
of
poetry,
or
works
of
imagination.
They
still
more
soften
the
feelings
and
open
up
the
sources
of
grief.
Read
works
of
fact--endeavor
to
occupy
yourself
with
the
passing
events
of
the
world.
And,
when
the
overburdened
heart
cannot
be
comforted,
or
its
thoughts
diverted--for
there
will
be
moments
too
mournful
to
be
resisted--go
forth
into
the
fields,
go
to
the
houses
of
the
poor--see
the
goodness
and
mercy
of
God--see
too,
the
patience
and
long-suffering
of
the
poor,
who
may
often
set
the
rich
an
example
of
fortitude.
Occupy
yourself,
if
you
can,
with
children;
their
freshness,
their
joyful
unconsciousness,
the
elasticity
of
their
spirits,
will
sustain
and
draw
you
from
yourself,
or
have
recourse
to
the
soothing
calmness
of
the
aged.
Hear
them
converse
upon
the
affairs
of
life;
how
they
appreciate
the
importance
of
each
passing
event,
as
a
traveler
does
the
ruts
and
inequalities
of
the
road
he
has
traversed.
How
their
confidence
in
the
effect
of
time
sustains
you!
and
you
turn
from
them,
reflecting
on
all
that
the
happiest
of
them
must
necessarily
have
endured.
Be
assured
of
your
own
recovery,
under
an
influence
so
certain.
