    Yes, you described exactly how I’ve been feeling the last month since losing my love. The weird mix of emotions - happy and sad both. We just march on forward!

    You were a gift to her as she was to you. You stood by her through the hardest challenge imaginable. My fervent hope is that you can rebuild your life without her and rest assured you could not have done more.
