Has loss ever brought you happiness?
What did you lose that brought you happiness?
Losing our home brought us happiness. Never thought it would, but it did. We are now out from under that dump. We are free to go wherever we want. It’s a good feeling.

I can’t think of one thing.
I just gave up on a dream I have had held on to for almost 2 years and doing that has been quite liberating.
I suffered financial loss. The changes brought a career change for my husband and eventual happiness for both of us. It was a good thing disguised as a bad thing.
The death of my father helped end a toxic relationship with my mother. I wouldn’t say ‘happy’ is appropriate, but ‘free’ for sure.
Losing my first wife to another man was the best thing that ever happened to me! : D

It IS all in our heads!
Losing the “love of my life” when I was 27 to another guy. If that did not happen I would not have known she was not really in love with me. Which was a good thing since from that realization I was able to move on.
Not yet; my mother-in-law is still alive!

No… losing my golden retriever dog brought me so much pain… main reason is I was 9 hours away with plane. I wasn’t there for him. I didn’t know what happened until 4 months later because my parents hid it from me.. I didn’t get to say goodbye. and he was EVERYTHING TO ME. more than that… he was with me from 7 to 18…
Losing 70 pounds made me happy. I wonder if I would be ecstatic if I lost the other 30?
When my grandfather died the abuse I had suffered for years as a child was over. It didn’t feel like a loss to me but for the rest of my family, who didn’t know what he was doing to me, it was a hard time.
Not happiness but relief.
