Is there a word for tremendous happiness coupled with relief?

I'm looking for a single word that would describe the feeling of say, getting a happy ending at the end of a tragic movie--like 'glad', but stronger. Feels like it exists but I just can't recall it--but if it doesn't, is there a better way to describe it other than what I put in the title?

Solution 1:

[…] the feeling of say, getting a happy ending at the end of a tragic movie--like 'glad', but stronger.

This feeling is called catharsis.

I don't think there's a word that fits into the same syntactic slot as glad, though. (There exists an adjective cathartic, but it's used to describe the experience — the thing that causes or triggers the catharsis — rather than the person.)
