You are very good at this. Sadly, you are correct. There is no easy way to get your WAW back, especially with very little contact.
I will continue to work on correcting the things that pushed her away. Last week, we had to speak on the phone (for her sake, but that's fine!!) and she mentioned she was stopping by our house to pick up a few of her things and asked that I not be there. It hurts--but the last time she made such a request I made the mistake of saying, "It would be so nice to see you." It must've made me sound needy. I should've waited for her to bring it up if she felt comfortable.
I wonder if she noticed that this time I didn't ask that at all and confidently said, "Sure, I'll make sure I'm not at home." If nothing else, I can feel good about making a small change.
Thanks again for your support!
