Shared joy is a double joy; shared sorrow is half a sorrow.
~Swedish Proverb
You are not meant to bottle up everything inside. If you do this, eventually you will burst and the results will be far more painful than if you just let yourself feel your emotions while you are going through them. The only way to be at peace is to go through the pain. There is no easy detour and if you try to ignore them, stuff them down or pretend they don't exist, not only are you cheating yourself out of a peaceful and joyful life but you are not learning the lesson(s) you are supposed to. With pain comes growth but there is not growth if you shut your feelings off from yourself. You must walk through it in order to get to the other side and see it from a different angle. Share your emotions with those that you trust (even your angels) and feel how quickly these "heavier" emotions lift and love starts to fill that newly empty space.
