To me it sounds like the song is about losing a loved one but the loss imparts both a feeling of sadness and happiness/contentment.
For example if a loved one were suffering from cancer or Alzheimer's. It's always sad to see your loved ones go, but after a long and painful struggle with such awful diseases you also feel good for their sake because they can let go and not suffer any more.
It reminds me a bit of my grandfather who had Alzheimer's. He'd been so far gone for a while that I'd already gone through most of the grieving process when he finally passed away. At that point, while still feeling distraught, I felt content because his suffering was over.
