For people with any disability, habits, routine and familiarity are enormously helpful in maintaining the ability to operate independently. Survey her current life and figure out what routines she currently has which can be maintained as is and which ones can be maintained with a small tweak. Be prepared for even small changes to start taking more time and repetition to successfully incorporate. Plan for this and encourage her to develop a process now for accommodating this new reality. Giving up too quickly and not having a comfortable process for this can make a disability much more impairing than it really needs to be. Expect to need to introduce an idea or technology and give her time to get around to it. Expect to remind her "You could do just the first step on that." or "You could do just the next step on that." People who have been able-bodied are somewhat inclined to not persist when things start taking more time and effort to incorporate. This expectation that it comes easily and quickly or you don't bother can rapidly curtail life far more than necessary as your abilities degrade. As for reading, audio books are a thing and are used a lot by visually impaired people.
