It seems like this is a pretty normal reaction. I listened to an interview with a shot-putter who originally won silver in the Olympics, but then years later was given the gold medal when the original winner was discovered to have used steroids. He met the official in a food court at the mall and handed them his silver, and they gave him his new gold, and then he left. And after years of single-minded work, suddenly he had reached his goal, and there was no happily ever after waiting for him.
