She was a wreck. Her entire life was flipped upside down. The husband knew she just needed more time to absorb what was going on. He probably figured Chuck needed more time as well. When Chuck arrives at her home later on we see all that time she spent going over Chucks journey. That was her coming to terms with the whole situation at least until a few minutes later when she kind of breaks but Chuck tells her it will be okay and to go back to her husband and child. She goes back to her adventure and he leaves to go on his new adventure.
