I know all of Lisa's previous interviews and I didn't like what she said in them at all.
But to be honest after Michael's passing and reading her blog, I wondered if she had been " a woman who loved too much and who was hurt too much". I personally have been in a relationship that I loved way too much but also very much hurt by the opposite side. When the relationship was over the only thing I can do to deal with how hurt I was, was to turn the love to hate and try to hurt back the person that hurt me. It took me a lot of years and another relationship to realize this, stop the cycle and move along.
About clarity : I believe the above experience that I wrote is what Lisa is mentioning by clarity. Michael's death made her realize the reasons why she did what she did and that she loved him. It was also good to see that she acknowledged that she didn't act and talk in a very good way in the previous interviews.
About seeing him 4 years after the divorce: we the fans had already knew this but for non fans this sets the record straight. It wasn't a short term sham marriage, it was a long term real relationship.
This also made me have more respect towards Debbie. I don't think Michael loved Debbie madly deeply truly and their relationship was solely about the kids. When Michael was married to Debbie but still seeing Lisa and the press was bringing it up, Debbie was covering for Michael. That's one unselfish and loving woman in my book. I respect Debbie for giving Michael two precious kids and defending him no matter what (and how hurtful it might be)
Was Lisa Michael's first? : I didn't get that Lisa claimed to be first and/or last and/or only woman in Michael's life. I felt that she said before her "Michael dated woman but he didn't have any serious relationships and/or significant woman in his life". Not having a serious relationship doesn't mean not having sex.
1995 collapse and drug issue : I'll classify this as her opinion. The doctor who treated Michael - by the way he was the on duty emergency doctor - not a personal or on payroll doctor - gave a detailed interview about Michael's hospital visit. He says that he didn't have any drugs in his system. ( see this if you are interested in his interview :

Dermatologist visits and drugs : another oh no moment. I don't know anyone watched Arnie Klein on TMZ Live some time back. He said that the gave Michael face (fillers and botox) and head injections (for the burn) and they are very painful. He gave pain medication for those which of course affected him. So it wasn't a drug use per se, it was the effects of drugs for painful medical procedures.
About the dare : My understanding was that Lisa said to Michael "choose either me or those people/ doctors and if you don't choose me I'm gone" - that's the dare and Michael didn't respond it in a way she expected.
About baby and custody : I cannot understand how a person who was so in love and thought that this was gonna last forever can think about a future custody battle when thinking about a baby. So perhaps Lisa rushed into the relationship - the stuff she said about her first husband also kinda supports this.
About accusations : A lot of people get asked this question and a lot of them respond that it's not the truth, he couldn't do it, he was innocent, he was like a child etc. Lisa's "I haven't seen anything but I wasn't in the room so who knows" was one of the worst comments I have seen.
Last conversation : Interesting choice of words here , she said last "
coherent" conversation. What does she mean by it? Were there incoherent conversations as well?
About Oprah : First of all this was definitely done for ratings. We learned that she pushed the interview idea to Lisa when hiking. Her surprised and I can't believe it look kinda annoyed me. Good that she didn't comment on any accusations but she made it very clear that she believes that Michael was an addict. So she still stays on my I don't like you list.
Overall it was a mixture - while it was good that a real relationship point was made, all those drugs talk was bad.
