Joy and Grief

Can grief and Joy coexist?

I have learned that it can because joy happens but grief is there every day
I had joy celebrating Christmas with both sides of the family
I had joy hugging my Marine nephew, when I have no idea when I will get another
I had joy today when seeing a longtime friend unexpectedly

I am wondering if there will be a time when I feel more joy than grief?
