I don't need to echo the 'no talks, all action' rule. But to make it easier to execute here's my understanding of why that rule is there.

The only reason to 'talk, explain, etc' is to either:

1) temperature check
2) try to influence her behavior or beliefs

If you were in the detached/acceptance stage you wouldn't need to talk to her. You would no longer be fixated on what she's thinking, planning, doing, feeling.

Not criticizing for not being there, that comes with time. But if she feels you haven't let go, telling her that you have would only prove that you care whether she thinks you have.

Keep going!
