But really what can you do but honor the request and give her the time and space she is asking for? Possibly more will reveal itself in time; but I know that's not much comfort now.

Its incredibly thoughtful of you to seek out this forum in regards to concerns over her recovery. Others will come along and share their thoughts.

I guess if I was in your place, I'd try to honor her request, and force myself to turn my attention to myself for a while; work on any issues you might have, use the time apart to evaluate the relationship, spend some of that free time catching up on things you enjoy.

Wishing you both the best
