Dealing with the loss of a vital part of your life and finding reason to continue existence in the face of extreme depression was for me very helpful. I'm not saying it pulled me from self destruction or anything, just that it was a nice story with a realistic outcome. About choosing to look at what you have rather than what you don't have.
I've heard someone say that our unhappiness stems from looking at either the past and what we no longer have, or looking at the future with worry and apprehension. By focussing more on the present, the here and now - enjoying that food you're eating, view you're seeing, or conversation you're having, rather than letting it remind you of times gone - you are more able to maintain a positive perspective.
I'm glad the designers included it, though I'd have loved to have given her, her wings. (I seem to be a 'rescuer' personality in real life relationships.)
