Read A Guide To The Good Life: The Ancient Art Of Stoic Joy by William B. Irvine! It is a modern summary on the stoic techniques to overcome negative emotions. It handels also grief. Or read the letters of Seneca to Lucilius (nr 63).

I found too many of the contextual references to be about war and death. Translating that into a modern context didn't come naturally to me. I found the best part of the book to be the analysis by William Irvine, not the rest of the content.

I'll give the letters of seneca to Lucilius a glance.
