You handled it quite well. In fact, it turned out great. Do you see what happened when you pulled away even a little? She kept pursuing you. That's exactly what you want.
Maybe when she said... "She continued to cry about how she just felt so cheated during all those years and she didn't know what to do." You should have mentioned the C and how for you it had given you clarity. Just to give it a little push.
Trust me, she's feeling alot of pressure right now from all sides. She also knows that she can't blame you for anything because you aren't there anymore. Now is when the hard part for her comes up.
You did great in validating her feelings, explaining how you were now and how things could be. She has to go the rest of the way.

Emotion, yet peace. Ignorance, yet knowledge. Passion, yet serenity. Chaos, yet harmony. Death, yet a new life.
