Joey,
I think it's pretty clear: she is trying to let you down nicely.
She doesn't love you anymore, if she does it isn't in a way that supports her own happiness.
You wrote that she returned the engagement ring. So that happened. Right there is where the truth is.
Also, you wrote that she wants you to see IC, but she doesn't need it....Right there is where the truth is.
You are blinded, you have had a tough past year and you are overwhelmed. But she isn't going to wait for you to find a better place, she won't live in a lie just to spare your feelings.
You have received a message loud and clear from her.
You must:
1. Mourn the loss of her
2. Learn to separate her from your life, material things as well.
3. You must move on.
You are 33. Young. Lots of life left to live.
Sorry Joey, she may be the woman of your dreams but she isn't "in-love" with you anymore. It's not you, it isn't really her either...it just happens.
Be thankful that it happens now, while you are still young and able. Be thankful she didn't make herself miserable by staying with you to make you happy at her expense. If you love her, then you don't want her to not have her own happiness, right?
Time to be a man. How you do it is your choice. I recommend you focus on you. It took me several years after loosing my Father to find a happiness inside again. Dealing with that alone would be my first priority.
Sorry buddy, emotional pain actually hurts just as much as being shot or breaking a bone. Take steps to deal with pain, recover and rehabilitate.
Always do your best, rise above and be proud of who you are.
Good luck.
