I hear you loud and clear. You are right in that this is a process that she needs to go through.
There are times I sit back and I can literally see the gears in her head turning trying to figure things out. When she's especially quiet, I sense that she's actually balancing things out in her head and I do see more moments of clarity than not.
Like this weekend, she spent all day Sunday cleaning the house from top to bottom. I mean everything. She joked around with me and talked, then there were times that I noticed she would look off into space, then I would take that as my cue to leave her alone. She even cleaned off two pictures I put out on our dresser of just the two of us and put them more prominently in front.
It seems to be an internal struggle that she's dealing with. She knows she has my support, but I know that if she's gone tomorrow, I'm not going to miss it. Her thoughts are out of my hands. She sees me going out and she stays home all the time. She sleeps alot and has even cancelled her gym membership which she was so proud to get a year ago.
I think reality for her is setting in. I'm just making things as comfortable for her as possible without actually doing anything but giving her space and time. I really do see why they call it a "fog".

Emotion, yet peace. Ignorance, yet knowledge. Passion, yet serenity. Chaos, yet harmony. Death, yet a new life.
