Is it unusual to post song recs for a cow? Because I've got one for Beardson.
I know he's a big Pavement fan. Well, a band that shared members with Pavement over the years was The Silver Jews. The front man was David Berman, who had a lot of mental health issues. "Treatment-resistant depression," he said.
Berman's problems really peaked when he parted ways with his wife, who had essentially been his caretaker for a long time. They stayed in contact while she began seeing other men. On Berman's final album, recorded under the name Purple Mountains, there's a song about this that reminds me of Matt, Blair, & Blair's new lover. It's called Darkness and Cold. A few of the lyrics:
The light of my life is going out tonight
As the sun sinks in the west
The light of my life is going out tonight
With someone she just met
She kept it burning longer than I had right to expect
The light of my life is going out tonight
Without a flicker of regret

Berman hung himself a couple of months after the song's release.
Take care of yourself, Matt.
