Wisdom of My Mother: If you love something, set it free. If it comes back, it's yours forever. If it doesn't, it wasn't ever yours to begin with.
She needs some time without any pressure from you or ANYTHING sexual to work stuff out on her own. That doesn't mean to ignore her, but it does mean you need to be prepared for anything at all to happen next. It sounds to me like you're prepared to give her that, too. I really congratulate you for that--to be willing to give it all up for someone you love is the highest expression of human being.
Her school almost certainly has a councellor on staff who's available free of charge. Even my dinky little cow-town liberal arts school had that.
