Lois McMaster Bujold:
Hello Lois, You've brought me endless hours of joy. Thank you. How are you able to bring so many dark aspects (I'm thinking specifically Mirror Dance with Mark and Ryoval, etc.) but the story feels uplifting? I compare this to The Road which I still feel scarred by. Character trajectory is part of the answer but I feel I am missing something.

I've not read The Road, so I can't compare and contrast. But everyone processes the same work of fiction differently, sometimes by a little, sometimes by a lot. So the answer, if any, is more likely to be found in you than in me.
