One has to realize that when they give something up, it could be forever. Michelle may feel very badly; we don't know. Regret is the worst pain. To break off an engagement with a baby involved must have taken much determination, so she did make a choice...a major one. I hope she finds comfort in Mathilde and whatever she had expected to. My greatest sympathies are to his immediate family; they never let him go, have 28 years of history to mourn over, and cannot replace a son or brother.
