Yours is an interesting sitch, just due to the age thing...then again, I get the same thing and we are nearly the same age and M at 28.
I would do what you're doing, be supportive give time and space, and def dont R talk. I'm finally getting the hang of it and its been 4 months already.
I just re-read an e-mail i sent W not a week ago and it was truly pathetic! At the time I was writing it, it was coming straight from the heart- but jeez, imagine if the OP just isnt at the same place- it would be like having to see Message in a Bottle when you were sure you were gonna see Platoon or something.
It's really too funny when you think about it. Just imagine how you feel, and assume she feels the exact opposite. That's been working for me so far.
Here for you Bobby, keep fighting and don't give up, just give her space and work on yourself
