That is acknowledging the spider for who it is and how it fits into the ecosystem.

They didn't want to give up, but they knew and were starting to grieve. Then another goose couple was hit by a car, leaving two young orphaned goslings.

That worked out very well. You have experienced parents whose eggs failed. You have babies who were orphaned. Now you have a happy goose family.
Geese are very good about taking in extra goslings. In this case they replaced their eggs with other goslings. Everyone is happy.
