I'm more lost than she with her loss of sight

Chloe is either progressively losing her vision or I'm just realizing the extent of it. This whole week has been tough for me. I've cried multiple times and held her as I cried. I know that she will adapt and be fine with no vision, but I'm not adapting to it yet. It has been such a quick dramatic change that I'm dealing with it slowly. I've got to learn how to play with her. Learn to speak to her before I approach as to not frighten her. Husband today said that she got frightened by the vacuum and left the confines of her cubie hole but didn't know where to go. I know that she is somewhat vertically challenged at the moment. She can still jump on the bathroom counter, my nightstand and the kitchen counter but I don't think she's taken the stairs or made it off the ground otherwise. I guess I'll be getting her some new soft beds to lay on around the house on the floor. She is eating and drinking and is in no pain. I am in pain. My heart aches for her.
