This song is beautiful and yet terribly tragic. I love it.
I agree that she is indeed mourning. I, however, dont agree that she wishes that it had been her instead. It is clear that he took his own life when he felt the pain was too much to bear. She is confused as to how that can be so since she tried to make it clear that if he would only trust in her then she would gladly carry his pain. She went through the final stages of his life as he spiraled down to his ultimate weakness. I also think that she is angry that he didnt take comfort in her and refused to see that with her he was no longer alone and never would be. In some ways she blames herself for not being able to do more and in others she is angry and disappointed in his refusal to see the gift that she tried to give him. In the end she learns that if somone truly doesnt wish to be comforted or consoled then there is nothing we can do to help.
