The phrase a blessing in disguise means that something which seems bad or unlucky at first later turns out to be helpful or good.
At the time it happens, a person may feel disappointed or upset, but with time they realise that the situation had a positive effect. This idiom is often used to help people feel better about unexpected problems or changes.

The unexpected pregnancy felt overwhelming at first, but it turned out to be a blessing in disguise.
