Now is not the time to try and open up to her more. A lot of LBS's make that mistake. She doesn't want that, she just wants you to go away. So give her what she wants- time and space. I am not saying to ignore her or be rude/ cold/ indifferent, just back off.

It seems like my efforts to detach have so far been met with indifference


It takes a lot of time. Don't expect anything from her anytime soon. Indifference is actually good, a lot of LBS's are met with extreme hostility when they detach.

From what I can make out, she is not going to come back home and will stay in a hotel then find an apartment, so anything I do will be done from a distance


Good! Separation really helps the LBS detach and the WAS to start to realize the LBS isn't the source of every last one of their problems. I know it hurts but there is a silver lining to separation.
