The character or the reader?

If you mean the reader, I suppose you could "feel it" more than once when re-reading the story.

If you mean the character then they could only experience the particular eucatastrophe once since they can't go back and relive parts of their life (unless they are on Star Trek).

However, just to make sure there is no misunderstanding, I don't mean to say that a particular character is limited to one eucatastrophe per story (although a character participating in eucatastrophic experiences left and right would kind of diminish the rarity of the event). I just mean that it can't be expected and can't happen the same way twice.
