Relieved and heartbroken needs a word of its own, I think.
It does. Love, comfort, and peace to all of you, David.
And such gratitude for Jacqueline's amazing, beautiful existence and all the lives she touched.
Well, my days of not taking you seriously are certainly coming to a middle.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
I've hit the listening to sad music stage of the day. Possibly predictably.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Welp. I found the place where Matilda lost her shit.
When they came to take the body.
“I don’t want them to take her!”
“I don’t want to leave! I don’t want to leave!”
“It’s not fair! I don’t want them to take her!”
Sobbing. Sobbing. Sobbing the whole time.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Oh my heart. Yeah, that’s…yeah.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Oh, poor sweet Matilda. I hate like hell that she has to go through this. It's so fucking unfair.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
Oh Matilda. My heart aches for her.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Oh god, my heart just breaks for her. Poor thing. And for you, having to help guide her through it. It's too much.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
David, that is heartbreaking.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Oh, David. Oh, Matilda. Nothing about it is fair.
Relieved and heartbroken needs a word of its own, I think.
So much, yes.

My MiL had her own little feral freakout filled with fury and repression and crushing implosion.
I told her not to watch, but she came out and did and it wasn't a good thing for her to do. But she couldn't stop herself. Like Matilda she was fairly ready to claw her way through the hearse to get to her beloved.
