You said that??? You are lucky to be alive!
Seriously, I think with all that is coming up in your lives, this is going to be a time when you really need to validate. We women sometimes like to talk things to death, it doesn't mean we won't do it or even don't want to do it, just want to analyze every angle of it. So let her talk, see what happens when you just validate. I know you said you have been doing it, but really concentrate on what she has to say, would be my best suggestion for the next few weeks. Moving away from kids has to be hard.
