I totally get your frustration when you put so much time and effort into this and obviously did an outstanding job. This was out of your control; there was nothing you could have done better/differently. Try to have faith that things will ultimately work out in your favor-- either an even better opportunity will come along and you will be glad to be able to accept it, or the person they hired won't work out as planned (either she will take another job or won't do as well as they expect) and they will give you a call back, begging you to take the position.
Remember that you have impressive skills and experience, and try not to take this personally.
