As my wife was dying of cancer(four year period) I shared with a friend that I just had to put one foot in front of the other each day. I couldn't think of the whole day at one point in time, it was too much stress. About 10 years later his wife was dying of cancer and he shared with our golf group that he had remembered what I told him and it really helped him get through it. I guess my answer would be, Just do one thing at a time and don't get ahead of yourself.

The best advice is to go slow. Identify what problem is really bothering you. If it is something you can solve, solve it. If you can't, rely on God, and pray to him for the strength to overcome your obstacles. Things like grief or loss will not go away overnight, make sure that you leave no ends undone, things that you will regret later.
Lastly of all Pray to God for guidance and for healing. He will heal you, if you ask.
Lean on a friend. Talk things out. You will slowly see the grey clouds going away and the sun come out again.
Don't give up, no matter what, you are not alone, and you deserve good things. These things are yet to be though, be patient and trust in God.

My entire family looks to me for strength in times of sorrow and suffering. For their sakes, I must keep my own sorrow hidden as much as is possible,and give them the comfort they need. Although my pain is as great as theirs,they lean heavily on me in these times,and I cannot let them down. When I get a chance to be by myself, I vent my grief,and that is how I cope.

Most people try to hide their own feelings from themselves more than others, as if to trick themselves into believing. The most important thing to understand is that you are the only one accountable for you. No gods, no people, just you... who cares how others view it? The only thing that matters is that you are honest on the inside. Internal honesty voids necessity for outward expression (at least on my part) and as such I have no need to hide feelings as I've already taken care of them.

Why should you hide them? Your sorrows are part of who you are. People who love would understand. You do have to try to control focusing too much on them, but you do need to discuss them and cry over them once in a while.

I don't. I grieve when appropriate, and I rely on my deities for strength to do what I have to do when it is inappropriate to grieve. Hiding sorrows and sufferings only causes me to "stuff" them away, where they fester and boil for years and then cause me great harm to my health. I will not do that anymore. I choose to live. And in making that choice, I must allow myself to feel suffering and sorrow as well as joy and ecstacy. ;) It's all a matter of self-regulation, knowing what is appropriate when.

I do not believe in hiding my pains. I write about them, I talk about them. I listen to others stories and use their past pain as balm for my wounds. The only way to heal a wound is to medicate it and treat the infection, slapping on a band-aid does nothing but fester infection.

I try to deal with the thinking behind negative emotions and experiences that I have been presented and change my view...I also petition God,for grace......And I laugh and joke around enough, for 20 people.

to hide my suffering i act like a goof and i say stupid things. i cope with it by sitting in my room and blareing my i-pod while i have my eyes closed and just don't think and let the music block out all my problems.( its so lound i can't hear my problems)
