Russian term or phrase: безболезненно пережить
The context is about dealing with consequences of an unexpected resignation. The style is conversational, written (messaging).
...Но так как к нам приходят A и B, думаю, мы сможем безболезненно пережить ее увольнение.
...[b]ut with A and B joining the team, I believe ___ .
I am at a loss for a good translation in this particular context with a touch of irony: all things considered, the loss is not as harmful, as it might seem.
Any suggestions or hints are most welcome.

Asker: This sounds stronger than 'hurt us' below, but I can think of contexts where it would be a better match.

Asker: That was one of my routes! But from what my dictionaries say, I see this is more about the speaker's efforts rather than their assessment of situation. Nevertheless, thanks for this suggestion.

Asker: From a quick glance at usage in The Telegraph, it looks faithful to the original. It is only the peers' comments above that tip the scales. Thanks a lot!
