The end actually did make sense and the reunion worked perfectly

It just wasn't what everyone expected. Actually, the Woman in Black, in return for Arthur retrieving her son from the bog and giving him a decent burial, returned Arthur's son, little Joseph, to HIS mommy. And Arthur, too, was reunited with his departed wife, whom he had missed so terribly.

The Woman in Black remained evil. There is a short scene near the end where we hear her repeating, “I’ll never forgive”, or something to that effect. I think she meant to take Arthur’s child from him, not realizing he would try and save him. It simply turns out better for Arthur (if you can call you and your son being hit by a train “better”).
