Having experienced BOTH scenarios, I can tell you that the death of a spouse is worse. My divorce was not unwanted... it was mutual... but nothing's worse than knowing that someone you love is not on this earth anymore.
Do you still have to see your ex? Do you have children together? You say nothing's worse than knowing someone you love is not on this earth anymore. Have you experienced seeing someone you love time after time leave and know they're going home to another man?

Every time I have a birthday, I think... this is an age she will never see. Every time I accomplish something in life... I think how she would have reacted to it. When I dream about her... I stop in the dream and think... wait... you shouldn't be here.
Every time I do all those things, I react the same way. Except I have to deal with she could be there for those moments. She just chose not to.
I'm not blasting you or anything bro. I'm happy that you have moved on from all that and found a good woman.

Just to answer your questions... No, I don't have to see her anymore. Yes, we have a child together, and no, it doesn't bother me. It was a long time ago. I suspect that your experience is more recent. I can totally understand.
I will say this to encourage you though... no matter what kind of train wreck you've experienced... there's always tomorrow. It sounds trite, but that's what helps you through it all. I'm happy because I never stopped believing that I could be happy.
One final thought... I always thought Louis CK said it best when he described divorce. He said, divorce is like having a million dollars... in the currency of a country that no longer exists.
