Feeling so sad about deaths

I am just feeling so sad about suicide deaths today. A friend of a friend died just this week, she took her own life. Just saw the tribute to Caroline Flack on strictly. I have been very close to it myself in deep depression but I am ok now, I’m happy and life is going well, and I think I’m better equipped to cope if the depression comes back (I’m sure it will, I don’t believe I’m cured, it’s gone and returned many times). But I just feel so unbelievably sad about these people who have died. People who have seemingly great lives and no one would have ever known they’d die this way, and the people who it hasn’t been such a surprise. I know it’s normal to be sad about this - how could you not? But I feel I am thinking about it constantly and it’s making me unfocused and so sad and tearful - even though I am in my own life very happy. How can I cope with it?
