Years that came after a major tragedy
2002 (a full year after 9/11)
2010 (a full year that the Great Recession was over)

You forgot 2021
The whole year 2020 was chaotic. Pandemic, George Floyd's death, protests, Election, Capitol Insurrection (2021 but only a few days into the year).
After Joe Biden's inauguration, 2021 was (mostly) chill after everything that happened in 2020.

2002 is definitely the first year that comes to mind.

I would say 2003 for September 11 - First half of 2002 it was a fresh wound, a sensitive subject and there was a lot of anger and to some extent bigotry. Second half a bit better.
Recession healing is hard to actually measure it was more gradual. Maybe 2011

2009 was such an optimist and positive year even though the economy was in the gutter

After Joe Biden's inauguration, 2021 was (mostly) chill after everything that happened in 2020. You got a point about 2021. But I felt like this year was the continuation of hell from 2020, hate crimes against Asian Americans, toxic politics, COVID and all the baggage with that. The New Years celebrations that rang in 2021 were subdued like 2002. I agree. In spring/early summer it felt like a time of healing was beginning, but then everything went to hell again. I'm hoping 2022 will be a better year but being realistic, this decade is going to be hell. I hope it's the start of a turnaround for my personal life at least.

I think COVID will stop being a "pandemic" in 2023 at the earliest, or sometime between 2023 and 2025 maybe. It became way too widespread to ever fully go away but it'll become more like the flu. I remember thinking in 2020 that it would be late 2021 lol. As for 2021 being a healing year I still think it is because 2020 had a lot more going on than COVID, and 2021 was a lot more chill after January. Even COVID is less crazy in 2021 because we're used to it.

I’m curious. Why did you pick 2009? the year after the recession and the year it ended ( but took us until 2014 to feel it ) Also it had a optimal optimist vibe

The stock market crash happened on September 29, 2008. 2009 was a year after that, so the worst of the worst was kind of behind us. 2009 was also when Obama became president. 2009 was the year when the effects of the recession truly hit though, with the peak of job losses and foreclosures. I'm fairly sure March 2009 was another low point for NASDAQ after late 2008.

I disagree on 2021 being a healing year despite not being as horrific as 2020. Sure, the year's a bit more quiet and optimistic with the George Floyd verdict, the vaccines, and the late spring/early summer period with the brief decline in cases, but COVID was still a huge deadly threat (especially with Delta and later Omicron), there was the Capitol riot, and the Afghanistan withdrawal.
But here's to hoping that 2022 will be a "healing" year for all of us.

I'm fairly sure March 2009 was another low point for NASDAQ after late 2008. It's insane how all of the problems and fears of that era seem so miniscule compared to the early 2020s and the aftermath of the Donald Trump presidency. This really is the worst timeline that we are living through.

Early 2021 might have been seen as "healing" (seeing Biden win and the right wingers lose their mind was amazing, back then we really thought vaccines were going to end covid, and the Olympics were cool too, the short squeeze of GameStop was hysterical plus pop punk came back)
but i think the second half was garbage with all the covid variables, rise of NFTs, people becoming more skeptical of vaccines, garbage music and the disaster that the Afghanistan islamic restoration was (WTF, it feels like everyone forgot about that shit already???)
Overall, 2021 started as a very optimistic and promising healing year... And then slowly became 2020 2.0
Let's now hope 2022 doesn't become 2020 3.0

Overall, 2021 started as a very optimistic and promising healing year... And then slowly became 2020 2.0 Let's now hope 2022 doesn't become 2020 3.0 This is an excellent synopsis. April-June 2021 almost seemed too good to be true. I remember how excited I was after the vaccine that I was getting my life back. Maybe it wasn't the end of the world after all. Then the delta variant happened and at the same time, the zeitgeist shifted hard in favor of conservatism. The second half of the year was very much 2020 2.0. I don't see 2022 at this point being anything other than 2020 3.0. This is going to be an agonizing era of history that we're just going to have to get through.
