Same here, I feel sad pretty much everyday but it doesn't affect my life at all. It's a mild sadness that can go away for a day or two at times but then returns no matter what happens, there's always an underlying sense of loneliness and feeling down. It never lasts two weeks without letting up but the feeling of loneliness is always there and being alone actually makes it worse despite me enjoying my solitude, I always feel a sense of nostalgia as well and longing for the old times and to see people who are no longer around again. Even back then I felt sad constantly but I still long for those days where some were still around, I agree with you that there can be grief involved that never gets resolved and I think I'll always be this way too and have accepted it as a way of life.
