So sad my friend. I know you'll grieve from your soul and that's the very best thing you can do. You're deeply spiritual and you'll become even moreso from this passing. Know you feel still connected to her.
Just keep crying, but don't forget to drink a lot of water. Grieving dehydrates...drink water and keep on grieving.

And, giving CPR is like playing tug-or-war with God. Whether you win or lose depends upon God's will, not yours. Nice way to kiss her goodbye though, offering life if it is to be.
I know you realize how lucky you are to have been there with her at that time. You'll never regret it.

I too will say the Mourner's Kaddish for you. I am not Catholic, nor is this prayer, however it's a beautiful prayer. I am, however, a Messianic believer. I'm especially fond of this prayer because it sounds amazing in Hebrew (well, technically, it's not Hebrew but Aramaic) when it's chanted and the meaning of the words are most comforting and profound.
Notice, that even though it's a prayer for time of mourning, there is absolutely no mention of dying, death, sadness or despair. Instead, it focuses on the greatness and glory of G-d. In our most difficult times, He is our rock and foundation, and in Him is where our comfort lies.
MOURNER'S KADDISH
An English Translation
Glorified and sanctified be God's great name throughout the world which He has created according to His will. May He establish His kingdom in your lifetime and during your days, and within the life of the entire House of Israel, speedily and soon; and say, Amen.
May His great name be blessed forever and to all eternity.
Blessed and praised, glorified and exalted, extolled and honored, adored and lauded be the name of the Holy One, blessed be He, beyond all the blessings and hymns, praises and consolations that are ever spoken in the world; and say, Amen.
May there be abundant peace from heaven, and life, for us
and for all Israel; and say, Amen.
He who creates peace in His celestial heights, may He create peace for us and for all Israel; and say, Amen.

The last paragraph says it all. Yes, I am sure you will miss her, but celebrate what she has done and who she was during the short time she was here. I will keep you in my prayers.

Sister Heidi,
My deepest condolences of the death of your friend, mentor, and companion.
Life is very short
But if during this brief passage our lives touch others
We become worthy of remembrance
And what we were, what we stood for, our joys, and our love remain
For those we held dear to cherish
In our memory
I sit here off in faraway California and lift a small dram of Balvenie in the memory of Sister Joan.
I lady I never met
But who obviously is someone worth remembering
