When you have suffered gravely, you view and live life a certain way.
Far from making others suffer or wishing suffering on others, for instance, you don't even wish suffering on those you hold responsible for your own suffering. Knowing what it was like, you want to do everything you can to alleviate the sufferings of others instead.
What makes for a successful life is one lived following ones dreams, one lived in ones own terms, instead of one lived following others.
