I'm so sorry for your loss. We had a liver shunt scare with our little guy as well in 2008.
My fiance and I don't have any children either and we refer to our little ones as "the children" so I can really relate. It's amazing how quickly we fall head over heels in love with them and how they become the absolute center of our little family universe so quickly. And trust me they know it.
I have no doubt that you opened your heart and give her every ounce of love you had it in. Take comfort in the fact that even though she passed on too soon she knew she was loved unconditionally, a part of your family and will always remain in your heart.
God bless you and your little one.
