Missing people for me now is sad but not depressing. I know I'll see them again if they're living so there's the happier anticipation of that too. People are more whole for me, instead of being 2-dimensional cutouts that can be moved around and are either "here" or "there". Memories and thoughts as a whole don't trigger as much intense feelings as they once did. I can think about people I haven't seen for a long time and the "old days" and friends and family who have died, etc. and access the good memories, thoughts, and feelings rather than just the sadness that they're gone.
