Das ist eine harte Nuß zum Übersetzen. ☺

„loss on losing“ – empfindet man das im Englischen nicht als Doppelung?

I take your point. "loss on losing" is a doubling up, even though it might be said in spoken language.

I have changed "loss" to "grief". Hopefully it will now be easier to translate. Thanks.
