The Yamas like Ahimsa (non-violence) encourage self-compassion, while Satya (truthfulness) invites us to acknowledge our emotions with honesty. The Niyamas, such as Saucha (cleanliness) and Santosha (contentment), can help us create a supportive environment and find moments of peace amidst the sadness.
