Please try to reduce her stress level. Reduce her work load. Give her some time. Let her do work that she is interested in. In the meantime, keep a watch over her sugar levels and keep it as normal as possible. Engage both of you in yoga or some breathing exercises. Try to sort out what make her worry, and then ,to detach it. Give her some time, everything gonna be OK..
