[trim /]

So it appears /dev/sd[abc]2 all dropped out together, leaving sdd2 by
itself.  As such, you should be able to force assembly and carry on.

mdadm -Af /dev/md1 /dev/sd[abcd]2

Then you can take a backup of the critical contents, if necessary.  (You
haven't said how important the data is...)
