Hmmm, pride vs strength...well I think pride is about being worried about looking bad. Wanting to prove she has strength is wanting to be something she feels she is not.
So....if you let her find her strength, are there for her, love the "new" her, and make it easy for her to come back (i.e. no guilt trips, no blabbing to everyone in the gossip mill about how horribly she has behaved at times, whatever) then it is possible she will come back.
Only time will tell though.
