lamurias/lamentacoes


Explanation:
Pensando melhor, ''consolacao'' nao e o termo mais adequado para a frase.

pity party
A way of experiencing grief, in which you spend your time <strong>feeling sorry for yourself</strong> and <strong>whining</strong> endlessly about how crappy your life is.

Traduziria assim entao:

Should we throw a pity party for you? => Deixe-se de lamurias/lamentacoes!



Life is too short for long pity parties. Get busy living, or get busy dying. =>
A vida é curta demais para lamentações. Tenha uma vida agitada, ou morrerá ocupado.

prémio de consolação


Explanation:
Bem sei que é "festa", mas em pt-pt temos esta expressão para esse exemplo.
Não sei se poderá adaptar a pt-br.

Nilson, pelos vistos não é ajuda para pt-br.
Segundo indicação da Diana a expressão tem outro significado. Pensei, eventualmente, que em pt-br a usassem com o mesmo sentido.
Deixo ficar a sugestão para pt-pt só.
Bom trabalho.

neutral  Diana Coada (X): Nada a ver. Prémio de consolação=consolation prize. an award given to those who do not win an event but are deserving of recognition.

  -> Diana pode não ter nada a ver em pt-br, mas é uma expressão que em pt-pt é utilizada neste contexto. Eu referi isso ao colocar a resposta. O "consolation prize" cuja definição indicou também nada tem a ver com o sentido que em pt-pt é dado.
