Put the crate in the bed with you on a large towel and see if that won't help. If that one won't work, perhaps a little enclosed airline carrier with the little door with bars to put her in and put in bed with you like Tibbe has. I did this with Tibbe the first few nights I had him as he was so wild and kennel-crazy, he would have jumped off the bed and who knew what else so he HAD to be confined. I just would put my fingers through the bars and we'd go to sleep that way after he whined and screamed some(he was pretty wild in those early days). He'd finally fall asleep with his nose pressed against my fingers and them going white from loss of circulation! But it worked to keep him safe until I could buy him doggie steps and teach him how to use them to come down from the bed. And once he was safe to get down from the bed, I let him sleep with me sans his carrier and he did very well.

If you can't do that. perhaps you could get the vet to give her a mild sedative to get her through a few nights until she begins to accept this situation has to be.
