Feel your emotions. It's probably a good sign that you're feeling them. (I'm flashing now on William Goldman, how he said he cried when he wrote the line "Westley lay dead by the machine.")
I'll add: I'm proud of you. And I'm looking forward to reading the book.
Peace.
Clarifying Edit: Your mood, obviously, is a good sign that this work was important to you. Goldman reacting that way to what happened in The Princess Bride showed how important that story was to him. And that importance made you work as hard as you could, same as Goldman did and same as a striving parent does. You've said the creating of your stories is like being a parent. Neither job's easy. But thank you for doing your creating.
I hope you're taking a well-earned break. And, because I can share more than my pretension, here's video of Natalie Portman playing with puppies (http://www.funnyordie.com/videos/f88f8d6385).
