and, God willing,
Be able to share the mended person she might be.

I am so with you here buddy. My H. has had significant trauma in his life. He recognises mine, but refuses to recognise his own, although I see little glimmers of acknowledgment now and then.
At this stage though, I'm trying to forget about H. He's not part of my life by his choice. So perhaps just letting go is best.
