T2, You are doing great. Just keep the faith and continue digging for more patience. I truly believe your w is cooking up very nicely. The reconnection process takes a lot of time for them. You can't rush the process or you will definitely screw it up and up the tunnel she will go again.
I do think that she's feeling more and more comfortable in her own skin and environment, thus the unpacking of boxes and piles. I wouldn't try to do any mind reading on why she's putting then in the LR...it could be where there is plenty of space and she feels safe and comfortable in knowing they are there if she feels the need to "run" back to that place in time.
T2, it's going to be okay. You and your family are going to be okay. Please, please continue to give her plenty of space so that she can breathe and continue to feel comfortable in her own/new skin.
I do hope that you and your family have a "Happy Thanksgiving".
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
