When in a time of great emotional pain, have you ever suddenly gotten the jollies?

Today, as a watchful few of you know, my boyfriend of 2½ years broke up with me out of the blue. I’ve been weepy mess all day, but I was talking to him on facebook chat just now, and I suddenly felt really jolly knowing he would be happier now. I actually started smiling like a maniac. I’m still in a lot of pain, and that totally took me by surprise, but it was kind of cool!

Have you ever had a situation where you were in a period of grief or pain, when you suddenly felt quite jolly? Ever laughed at a funeral? Stories, people! I demand stories!
