On February 9, at an intimate memorial for ex fiance Heath Ledger, Michelle Williams lost her composure during a video montage featuring him and their 2-year-old daughter Matilda, Us Weekly reports in its latest issue.

The montage – played during a tribute to the actor in his hometown of Perth, Australia – was accompanied by the Ben Harper song "Happy Ever After in Your Eyes," which Harper penned for Matilda at Ledger's request.

"Just seeing it all there in front of you was humbling," one mourner tells Us of the tribute. "It's just amazing how much he fit into his short life.

Williams, 27, is holding her own despite the pressures of grieving, working, and mothering.

"She is really keeping it together," a friend tells Us. "And she's so great with Matilda."

Though she is "still very heartbroken" over the loss of Ledger, "she is happy to be working," a pal tells Us. "It is a welcome distraction."

On Monday, Williams was in New York City filming scenes for the small-budget drama Mammoth just two blocks from the apartment building where Ledger was found dead three weeks ago, the victim of an accidental overdose.

After Mammoth wraps, Williams will head to Boston next month to start shooting Martin Scorsese's thriller Ashecliffe, costarring Leonardo DiCaprio and Mark Ruffalo.

Check out the latest issue of Us Weekly, on newsstands now, for complete coverage of Michelle's final goodbye to Heath.
