Thanks runingoutoftime, in many ways this seems to be the hardest time because the wish to reconnect with her is so strong.
I suspect she will keep in touch with OM because she does care for him and he must be hurting too, but it is her life and at least she has made a commitment to stay with us.
There are signs of her re-connecting with her old life, doing some of the things she was doing 6 months ago, so I see that as positive.
I just keep reminding myself that now more than ever patience is the most important thing, I must let her resolve things at HER own pace.
