Art is cathartic. I think sometimes people need to see the sad, and feel held by it, so that they know they aren't alone in what they're feeling or have felt. It's a stepping stone towards getting better; it's acknowledgement, the 'I see you, and what is troubling you'. And the comfort and consolation of companionship - that you are not alone in this, and that we - all who feel this way - can get better and will get better with the help of Allah (SWT) through the worldly means and people that He has given us.

Hope is the thing with feathers.
That perches in the soul,
That sings the tune without the words,
And never stops - at all.
                 - Emily Dickinson
