I think your reactions were good, but you really have to know where you are in order to be there for her as she starts to open up like this.
I do want to caution you of the cycle. Don’t look to far forward with this. Just let her talk, let it come out, and see what happens tomorrow, or next week then.
Often, they talk a bit, then go back to the hiding. Stay your course. You are doing well.
"Acceptance doesn't mean resignation. It means understanding that something is what it is and there's got to be a way through it."--Michael J. Fox
