A widow is the answer

A teacher asked his student, “Can you show me someone who is both ‘bereaved’ and ‘relieved’? I am sure you know the meaning of these two words. If somebody dies, you are bereaved. And if you have some pain, when the pain goes away, you are relieved.” The clever student said, “Your question is so easy. I know a certain widow. Let me bring her here. Because her husband has passed away, she is bereaved. Again, since she had no love for her husband, she is greatly relieved!”
