I believe the speaker was pleased at the end of "After Death" because she was not being loved when she was alive saying "He did not love me living, but once dead he pitied me; and very sweet it is". It is crazy to me that she looked past everything after death for the simple fact that he showed some type of love towards her after death. To me this shows how powerful that emotion is and at the end of the day the best feeling is knowing that you are loved. The entire poem is dark and sad about her dying and him not showing her any love, but the end ends on a brighter not just because he "pitied" her after death.
