You have a sad feeling for a moment, then it passes

"You have a sad feeling for a moment, then it passes"

A poetic, bittersweet line. In a way, the sadness is the "good" part, when you feel the most longing for what's been lost. The real loss is forgetting.

Yeah, I know it's tacky to reference an MCU show, but Wandavision's defining line was

"what is grief but love persevering?"

which kind of implies the sad inverse -- that once we pick ourselves up and carry on, it necessarily means that the love isn't persevering quite so hard.

> "what is grief but love persevering?"

It's certainly poetic, but I don't think it's accurate.
