"Thou deservest happiness," says Laertes. He can believe it for her, even if he can't quite believe it for himself yet--that her happiness is not a betrayal of their memory. That, even if they would have wanted something different for her, it does not dishonor them for her to live on without them. "That vine at the heart of thee lives. I must believe that, one day, it will flower and fruit again."
