i think you're doing what you have to do; the only thing i would add is you might look at acting in your own best interest. what i mean by that is the following: you are putting the situation in terms of what is best for her, which is commendable and understandable. however, you should also act for yourself; taking time off might be the best thing for you too. if you think its best not to see each other for a while, then take that initiative. find out her perspective on how to proceed, but i would advise that you not completely put yourself at her beck and call.
in these types of situations, i tend to consider the current chapter as closing. that doesn't preclude future involvement, but you have to accept the situation as it is. if she's not ready, then she's not ready. c'est la vie; not much you can do about it. in the end, after the tears have been cried and so forth, she's giving some pretty clear signals. i've seen these situations go from cuddly "i really wish we had met under different circumstances, i really love you in some special way" to "god i hate your guts leave me the fuck alone" in the blink of an eye. good luck.
