The boss in this story should be used as an example for others to learn from. What a great person.

He definitely is. Having had less positive experiences in the past—meeting him was a sea change for even myself.

I am happy to hear that she is beaming.
But, from personal experience, I would not assume that she is anything like "over" losing the other child.

Maybe over the hump is a better way to describe it?
My own problems with seasonal / occasional depression have resembled something of a bell curve- not bad at first, then really bad, then not very bad. The threat of depression never really goes away, but the likelihood of having bad days generally dies down over time, especially if the gap from what you were missing (IE child, job, spouse, sibling, family, pets) gets filled by something else.

The child they lost is still very much on their heart, yes.

What a tremendous display of empathy and leadership to visit your grieving employee.
She has since had a healthy baby and is usually beaming.
