To Beth, Matthew seems like the perfect guy—an angel sent to save Beth from a life of loneliness. . Beth writes in her diary, “I have wondered if those who say ‘it is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all’ have ever lost their loved.” (p. 286) How do you feel about this observation? Do you think Beth would ultimately agree or disagree that it’s better to have loved and lost? What does Matthew do for Beth besides give her another lost love to grieve?

Matthew saves the life of his wife. And he makes them rich.
It is better to love but "love and lose" doesn't sound really fun. I think if you loave someone and then they died and one considered that a loss it would be better to have loved and suffered loss. Beth needed to have true and good love in her life. Matthew helped with that but in the end her last husband really helped her with love with no strings attached.
