I'd say to reassure her that absolutely nothing real has changed, only her understanding of the world. There is no need for her to let go of the idea of God, and what it represents to her. Maybe realising that this God is really her own inner strength will help her realize she should credit herself more.

She is still the same person, as are you, and you can be there for her. She can keep in her mind all the good things about the image of God/Jesus, without having to hold onto all the contradictory nonsense and trying to justify all the evil in the world and in the bible. Maybe over time she won't need them anymore, and will realize it was just her all along.

I'd say not to try and rush her, but to be there for her as she makes the journey in her own time.
