Robin Williams' Widow Makes Us ... Feel Things

Robin Williams' death hit many of us pretty hard. His widow, Susan, was obviously more deeply affected than any of us could ever be. But, with what must have taken a lot of courage, she did an interview that's set to air tomorrow on "Good Morning America."

"I know we did everything we could. … People have in passing will come …They would say to me, ‘God, I wish I had done something more for him. If only I had called him.’ And I'm thinking, ‘No one could have done anything more for Robin.’ I just want everyone to know that. Nobody -- no one -- everyone did the very best they could."

She lost her husband but she's most worried about how other people feel about themselves. That's ... genuinely touching. In addition to a colorful but apt analogy for how her late husband was suffering -- comparing his illness to a many-tendriled sea monster -- she talks about how she's been faring with the passage of time after Robin's death:

"[The pain] … just all of it will never go. It's the best love I ever dreamed of."

Heavy stuff, right? Even the promo for the interview is a bit of a tearjerker.
No , we're not  crying . (OK , we're crying , too .)
