I think I'll apologize when she wakes up (in 4 or 5 hours).
She may have some pent up stuff to say as well. She might even flip out too. Remain calm, do not add more fuel to the fire.
W has made a clear declaration of intent. Until she burns through her present feelings, she will not experience regret and remorse of the loss; feelings which would be more helpful to your cause.
LRT. Let go T. Become the gray rock. Focus on you and son.
Are you wanting to apologize to make her feel better, or you feel better? Was anything you said untrue? In my opinion, the message was true, it’s the delivery method and the colourful descriptions of her and her sister that could have been better, or avoided.
Trying to backpedal last night will likely bring about more feelings of resentment in W. Perhaps, no verbal apology, just move forward. Calmly and detached. If you do apology, be specific as to what you regret.
Hang in there T.

Feelings are fleeting. Be better, not bitter. Love the person, forgive the sin.
