How can we be happy when we have difficult experiences in our life?

Usually we’re not happy then. The difficulty takes up all our time and attention. But it’s later, when an old relationship, for example, is replaced by a new and better one, that the sunbeam of happiness again finds us.

Life is a stream of happy and unhappy experiences, because that leads to Soul’s purification.

How do you get by in the dark times? Try to give love to someone, especially then.
