I hope you did not experience anything as sad today.

今日そんな悲しさをなければと希望してます。

今日そんな悲しいことがなければといいな。

今日そんな悲しさをなかったらといいな。

今日そんな悲しいことがなかったと希望してます。

Are any of these close to what I am trying to say? To give context I found a
mikan ice cream today and was really happy but it turned out to be really bad.
So I was talking with a girl and wanted to say that I hoped nothing as said
has happened to her. Is there maybe a better way of saying this than I am
trying to use?

Thank you in advance.

question
grammar words
To hope something would or would not happen
**Caution** : It is easy to "translate" things into Japanese, but whether or
not that translated phrase/sentence would actually be uttered/written by a
native Japanese speaker somewhere is a totally different matter.

First, my comment on each of your attempts.

> 今日{きょう}そんな悲{かな}しさ **を** なければと希望{きぼう}してます。

Ungrammatical for using 「を」. 「ない」 is an adjective, so you cannot use an 「を」
right in front of it.

> 今日そんな悲しいことがなければ **と** いいな。

Ungrammatical for using 「と」 there. You can say 「ない **と** いい」, but not 「なければ
**と** いい」. That 「と」 needs to be dropped.

> 今日そんな悲しさ **を** なかったらといいな。

Ungrammatical for the same reason as the first sentence. You might want to
review the particle 「を」. You may have been over-using it.

> 今日そんな悲しいことがなかったと希望してます。

Looks pretty good as far as grammar. We just do not use 「希望する」 nearly as often
as English-speakers use "to hope". Remember if you can that 「希望する」is a bigger
word than "to hope".

My own TL's:

「こんな悲しい出来事{できごと}が、今日{きょう}君{きみ}には起{お}こらなかったことを願{ねが}ってる。」

「こんな悲しいことが、今日、少{すく}なくとも君には起きなかったことを願ってる。」

「こんな悲しい出来事が、今日君にはなかったことを祈{いの}って・・」
