Sweet is a grief well ended.

The line suggests that sorrow can acquire a kind of sweetness once it has reached a true conclusion—when mourning has been completed, justice has been done, reconciliation achieved, or suffering has finally ceased. It captures a tragic sensibility common in Greek drama: pain is not denied, but it can be transformed by resolution, catharsis, or the restoration of order. The “sweetness” is not pleasure in grief itself, but relief and meaning found after endurance—an emotional aftertaste that comes when the mind can finally set down what it has been carrying.
