Hmmm.

I had been thinking in terms of having a job/career you absolutely love, having a wonderful life-long relationship, having great friends, having financial abundance. While they would all be different from what you've lost, with different people, etc, I was thinking in terms of having the same kind of enjoyment, feelings you have with the new ones compared to the old one - that is it being at least as good.

But yeah, it won't be exactly the same since it will involve different people, different circumstances, different time in your life.
