I'm so glad that your wife has relief, joy and clarity - she's obtaining closure, which is balm for that very human need to remove uncertainty and ambiguity. You've described it for her in such a beautifully articulate way. I am moved by your love for her, and wish you both all peace, and all the strength you need as you walk down this unfamiliar path together. We're strangers, but please know that I'm with you in spirit.
