I do feel for you.

There is nothing in life more difficult to bear than the loss of someone close,someone with promise and hope unfulfilled.
I have gone through this and no amount of rationalisation or emotional post-mortems will ameliorate the grief she must feel.
I can but offer my sympathy to her,you and particularly his family who must be going through hell right now.
