Drawing dead on the river

There are many painful ways to exit a tournament, including the way I exited last night. On my final hand, I was a 44.53% dog before the flop, a 31.62% dog after the flop, and had 0% after the turn, meaning I was drawing dead on the river. I contend that of all the streets to be drawing dead on, the river hurts the most, since it means you had a good enough hand not to be drawing dead earlier on, and yet you still had utterly no hope to win. It's akin to fate having a hearty belly laugh at you :-)
