[Horrible events?]

Maybe we told her about Good King Moggle Mog and nothing else? I mean, she does seem to like cute, fluffy things, so perhaps that's her real motivation for the Sundering.
Why assume she's having that reaction about all the grim things? Or even necessarily that it's what we would focus on in our stories?

We could describe places, friends, victories, experiences. The customs and cultures of people we visited. How beautiful it all was.

I'm sure our character could talk for hours about their experiences and only just skirt around the more tragic parts of the tale.
