She was very direct and we have started a long-distance relationship (I'm working in Germany). We have made lots of plans. I just got done spending a wonderful 2 weeks with her, making more plans and being a couple. But there is a problem--she is a single mom, and her youngest son just deployed to Iraq. Since that day, I haven't heard a word from her, she doesn't go online, she won't respond to my emails, she doesn't answer my telephone calls. I have fallen hopelessly in love with this woman and don't know what to do. I realize she may be emotionally distraught because of her son going in harms way, which I have told her I understand, and that I am there for her. I am torn between just saying "the heck with it" or grovelling and trying to win her back. I need some advice.

 She knows you are contacting her and she is not replying because she has issues to work on. I say give her space to work things through.
Send a final email, telling her that "You will be there for her if she needs anything. and to contact you when she is ready to talk".
Leave it at that and give it some time. She is going through a lot
