Your words are strong and true.

But my heart is still heavy. I do not feel victorious or even satisfaction from the evolving wave of vindication.

What was taken from me cannot be replaced. It is psychological, maybe even spiritual in the depth of the damage to me.

I have no interest in living more frugally. If I simply can hold onto what I have now, I will live comfortably until my death. The prospect, even the guarantee of more wealth or material possessions provide no solace or just compensation for my losses.

I want the life I had before. But I know that is simply a whine. Life scars people, eventually.

Lose a child? Lose a spouse? Maimed by accident? Whether mental or physical sometimes time and events leave ugly residue that coats the heart and soul.
